Abstract: 【Objective】The aim of this study was to illuminate the sensibility of the exogenous hormones to plant height of a dwarf germplasm Aidianyehuangma so as to determine which kind of hormone sensitivity this germplasm belongs to, which will facilitate dissecting the relationship between the genetic basis of plant height and hormonal regulation in jute. 【Method】 Firstly, the performance of important agricultural traits, e.g. plant height, were compared between Aidianyehuangma and the variety Huangma 179 with normal plant height. Secondly, the dwarf germplasm of Aidianyehuangma was treated with different concentrations of exogenous GA3, IAA and BR. And the hypocotyl length in the Ms culture media and plant height variation in the field were investigated. Meanwhile, the hypocotyl length of Huangma 179 and Aidianyehuangma on the GA3 culture media was evaluated. Thirdly, the effects of continuous spraying of 100 mg·L-1 GA3 every 3 days on plant height of Aidianyehuangma were analyzed. Furthermore, the activities of α - amylase of Aidianyehuangma were analyzed after it was once treated with GA3. 【Result】 The comparison analysis of important agricultural traits showed that the plant height of Aidianyehuangma (1.89 m) was significantly lower than that of Huangma 179 (4.28 m) without exogenous hormone treatment, indicating that Aidianyehuangma is a typical dwarf germplasm in jute. After being treated with MS culture media of 0.1 mg.L-1 exogenous IAA and BR, the hypocotyl length of Aidianyehuangma did not show a significant difference with that of the control. However, after being treated with MS culture media of 0.1 mg·L-1 exogenous GA3, the hypocotyl length of Aidianyehuangma showed a significant difference compared with Aidianyehuangma without being treated with GA3, and the hypocotyl length of Aidianyehuangma and Huangma 179 was similar to that of Huangma 179 without being treated with GA3. It suggested that the plant height of Aidianyehuangma is sensitive to exogenous GA3 while that of Huangma 179 is not sensitive to the exogenous GA3. After being treated with different concentrations of exogenous hormone in the field, plant height of Aidianyehuangma with high concentration (100 mg·L-1) of GA3 was significantly higher than that with the other two lower concentrations of GA3. By contrast, plant height of Aidianyehuangma treated with different concentrations of exogenous IAA and BR did not show a significant difference with that of the control. It further suggested that Aidianyehuangma is a GA3 sensitive dwarf germplasm. After being treated with 100 mg·L-1 exogenous GA3 continuously in the field, the plant height of Aidianyehuangma showed a significant difference in comparison of Aidianyehuangma without being treated with GA3, reaching a significant level, and appoached that of Huangma 179. It showed that plant height of Aidianyehuangma could be resumed using exogenousGA3. After Aidianyehuangma was once treated with GA3, α- amylase activity of Aidianyehuangma in the first 3 days began to increase in comparison with that before treatment, and enhanced significantly in the first 6 days, which indicated that the exogenous GA3 could increase the α- amylase activity of Aidianyehuangma. 【Conclusion】Aidianyehuangma is a typical dwarf germplasm in jute. The plant height of Aidianyehuangma is not sensitive to exogenous IAA and BR, but sensitive to the exogenous GA3, and can be resumed to normal plant height with continuous exogenous GA3 treatment. The exogenous GA3 could increase the α- amylase activity of Aidianyehuangma. Aidianyehuangma is a GA3 sensitive dwarf germplasm.
