Synopsis :

The gene INFLORESCENCE DEFICIENT IN ABSCISSION (IDA) gives a striking floral abscission phenotype in the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana when mutated. Prior to this publication the only Arabidopsis mutants delayed in floral organ abscission that had been characterized in any detail were the ethylene insensitive mutants etr1 and ein2 in addition to an antisense line of the receptor-like kinase HAESA and an overexpression line of the MADS-box AGL15. The work presented here suggest that although ethylene has an important role in regulating the timing of floral organ abscission it is not an essential component of the pathway leading to floral shedding. By performing in depth studies of the mutant ida we wanted to determine whether a gene that was an essential component in the regulation of floral abscission was involved in ethylene signaling or perception, and if not what roles it played during the abscission process.
