Abstract

The results of studied interaction of genes CTR1, ALF3 and NPH4, IAR2 at the inheritance of the root system features of Arabidopsis were presented. A recessive epistasis was found in the second generation of crossing of plant mutant lines ctr1-1 × alf3-1 (alf3-1 alf3-1 > CTR1_). Crossing plant mutant lines nph4-1 × iar2-1 resulted in a polymeric cooperation of genes NPH4 and IAR2 in F2 generation.
