We isolated and analyzed mutants of Arabidopsis thaliana, acaulis, with flower stalks that are almost absent or are much reduced in length. The mutations are divided between two loci, acaulis1 (acl1) and acaulis2 (acl2). The acl1-1 mutation has been assigned to linkage group 4 in the vicinity of locus ap2. The acl1-1 mutant showed premature arrest of the inflorescence meristem after the onset of reproductive development, followed by consequent reduction in the number of flower-bearing phytomers and therefore flowers. The apical meristem of the inflorescences was morphologically normal but its radius was about half that of the wild type. The acl1 mutants are also defective in the development of foliage leaves. Both defects could be rescued by growth at a specific temperature (28ĄC). The length of the cells in acl1-3 mutant was less than that in the wild type but the numbers of cells in leaves and internodes of acl1 mutants were calculated to be the same as those of the wild type. Thus, the defects in inflorescences and leaves were attributed to defects in the process of elongation (maturation) of these cells. Temperature-shift experiments showed that the Acl1+ product was necessary at all developmental stages. A critical stage was shown to exist for recovery from the cessation of development of inflorescence meristems that was caused by the acl1-1 mutation. Grafting experiments showed that the acl1-1 mutation does not affect diffusible substances. An analysis of double mutants carrying both acl1-1 and one of developmental mutations, ap1, clv1, lfy, or tfl1, showed that ACL1 is a new class of gene.
