Abstract
The SUPERSHOOT gene has been found to control Arabidopsis axillary bud initiation and shoot architecture. The control has been studied in a mutant, supershoot (sps), which has huge overproliferation of shoots. One plant can generate 500 or more inflorescences. As SPS gene encodes a cytrochrome P450, a role in modulating hormone levels can be seen, given a 3- to 9-fold increase in levels of Z-type cytokinins in sps mutant plants.
