We describe mutant tissue lines of Arabidopsis that are able to grow in vitro as callus on hormone-free medium. The 14 lines presented here show different hormone autotrophic differentiation behaviors that can be classified into three categories: (a) forming roots (rooty callus), (b) forming shoots or shoot-like structures (shooty callus), or (c) growing without organ formation (callus). Three fast-growing lines showed altered steady-state mRNA levels of the Cdc2 and CycD3 cell cycle genes. Three of the six rooty callus lines contained about 20- to 30-fold higher levels of auxins than wild-type callus. These and two other lines with normal auxin content showed an increased steady-state level of IAA1 and IAA2 transcripts in the absence of exogenous auxin. Five of the six shooty callus lines had increased steady-state mRNA levels of the CKI1 gene and/or of the homeobox genes KNAT1 and STM, suggesting that the phenotype is linked to altered cytokinin signaling. Also, one cytokinin-overproducing line with only 5% of wild-type cytokinin oxidase activity was identified. These results indicate that screening for hormone-autonomous growth identifies mutants with altered hormone content or signaling.
