Tall Plant

Phenotype: elongated stems
Genotype: ein/ein

Tall Plant is a true-breeding Fast Plants stock that is homozygous recessive for a gene causing over production of a growth hormone in the gibberellin family, resulting in stems that overly elongate hypocotyls and stem internodes. This stock develops tall, spindly plants that typically require support.
