Abstract

In this study, conducted by the students above, gibberellic acid was added to both dwarf and wild-type Setaria Viridis seedlings. Applying gibberellic acid to the dwarf plants was testing to see if there was a direct effect on gibberellic acid to the heights (in cm) of the seedlings. The wild-type seeds were also tested in order to see if there is an effect of them also. Gibberellic acid was applied to a group of dwarf and wild-type seedling, there was an additional group of seedlings that were also just treated to normal conditions (simply just watering) as a control group.

The main goal of this study was to identify whether certain dwarf mutants are unable to process and take up gibberellic acid or have a gibberellin deficit.

I hope this works now.
