NASC ID: N19988
Name: Education kit
ABRC stock number: CS19988
Description: This set of 5 stocks is used in the LIFE IN BLOOM module, a part of ABRC Greening the Classroom Teaching Modules. Students will compare the germination rate of mutants defective in the early (ga1) and late (ga5) steps of gibberellic acid (GA) biosynthesis with the corresponding wild type (non-mutant), Ler, as well as comparing a mutant in GA sensing and response (gai-1). By comparing germination rates and totals in seeds grown in water or GA solution under light or dark conditions, students will gain an understanding of the requirement for GA in germination. They will also observe how supplying exogenous GA can reverse the phenotypes of some mutants, but not of others.
