Description
The goal of this project was to study and determine the different forms of genetic dwarfism in millet plants. This was done by creating three different types of millet samples using two different forms of mutant seeds and also normal seeds. 6 plants of each of the three varieties were sectioned into separate pots, and then given different treatment levels of gibberellin. Two plants in each group were given no gibberellin, two were given gibberellin once a week and two were given gibberellin daily Monday-Friday. The height of each plant was then recorded once a week throughout the trial period. Using these heights the genotypes of the two mutant types were identified.
