Abstract

This invention relates to the identification of a gene involved in the gibberellin signal transduction pathway. Mutations to this gene mimic the effect of gibberellin treatment and transgenic plants expressing the gene correct a spindly phenotype. Methods are disclosed for isolating and using the gene from a variety of plants.
