This project will determine how plant growth is regulated at the genetic, biochemical, and physiological levels, and how plant hormones provide key links between the genotype and overall phenotype (phenome). The work uses peas as a model because of the wealth of mutants available and the suitability of the species for physiological and biochemical studies. Our results will allow comparison of development in the caulescent pea plant with other model species with different growth habits, such as Arabidopsis. The project is significant because it will enable shoot growth to be modified either genetically or chemically to meet particular agronomic objectives.

该项目将确定植物生长如何在遗传，生化和生理水平上进行调节，以及植物激素如何在基因型和整体表型（表型组）之间提供关键联系。这项工作使用豌豆作为模型，因为丰富的突变体和物种的生理和生化研究的适用性。 我们的研究结果将允许在茎生豌豆植物的发展与其他模式物种不同的生长习性，如拟南芥进行比较。该项目意义重大，因为它将使枝条生长能够通过遗传或化学方法进行调整，以满足特定的农艺目标。
