To date, those skilled in the art have never considered that cultured plant cells respond to gibberellins. However, to comprehensively and conveniently identify and isolate gibberellin responsive genes, cultured cells, which are uniform and easy to handle, are appropriate. Considering the advantages of cultured cells, the present inventors developed methods for identifying and isolating gibberellin responsive genes using cultured cells. After pre-culturing cells in an auxin-free medium, they examined whether or not changes in gene expression could be detected. As a result, it was surprisingly revealed that changes in the expression of some genes could be detected after gibberellin treatment.
