Description
Gibberellin is a plant hormone that promotes growth in plant organs. Issues arising with the production and process of the hormone result in the mutation dwarfism. In this experimentation, the effects of gibberellin on dwarf Setaria viridis are isolated by controlled growth environments and treatments. The effects of the hormone treatment are measured manually over the period of growth so that the data may be analyzed and determine the cause of dwarfism in our species. In conclusion, this study offers important insights into the mechanism underlying dwarfism mutation, providing potential direction for future research and understanding plant physiology.
