Abstract:

A dwarf wheat mutant (NM9) with additional tillers and elongated spikes was obtained by treating NAU9918 seeds with ethyl methanesulfonate (EMS). The decreased plant height in NM9 was controlled by a novel dwarf gene Rht_NM9. The endogenous plant hormones play importantroles inregulating plant height of common wheat. To understand the dwarfing mechanism of Rht_NM9 and the relationship between endogenous hormone contents and plant height, measured contents of endogenous gibberellic acid (GA), auxin (IAA), abscisic acid (ABA) and zeatin riboside (ZR) in internodes of NM9 and NAU9918 at different stagesby enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA). Our study indicated that contents of GA and ABA in NM9 were significantly higher than there in NAU9918, and ZR content in NM9 was significantly lower than that inNAU9918 atboth booting and heading stages. Nevertheless, no difference of IAA content was observed between the mutant and the wild-type. In addition,the GA/ABA ratio in internodes of the mutant was significantly higher than that of the wild-type, however, the ratios of IAA/ABA, (IAA + GA)/ABA and ZR/ABA weresignificantly lower than thereof the wild-type. All these results indicated that plant height in wheat was regulated by multiple hormones. Plant height would be inhibited with increasingcontent of endogenous ABA and decreasingratios of IAA/ABA and ZR/ABA in wheat.

Key words: Wheat, Plant height, Mutant, Endogenous hormones
