Abstract: Seedlings of foxtail millet(Setaria italica Beauv.)dwarf mutants,Aininghuang( ANH),623C and CH84113 were tr eated with gibberellins (GA1,GA3,GA4,GA7 and GA9)by micro-drop method and by pre-soaking in GA3 solution.Further,plants were sprayed with GA3 solution at jointing stage.It was found that ANH and 623C were GA- respondingdwarf mutants,whose leaf blade,leaf sheath and elongating internodes lengh increased significantly after GA application,whereas CH84113 was anon- GA-responding dwarf mutant.Using on enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA),it was found that the endogenous GA1+3 contents inculms of all three dwarf mutants decreased by 50% or so in comparing with the normal cultivars,Jigu11(JG11),Zhaogu1 (ZG1) and Qingfenggu(QFG).

Key words: Foxtail millet(Setaria italica Beauv), Dwarfism, Mutant, Gibberellins, Sensitivity
