<jats:p> The <jats:italic>ga3</jats:italic> mutant of <jats:italic>Arabidopsis</jats:italic> is a gibberellin-responsive dwarf. We present data showing that the <jats:italic>ga3-1</jats:italic> mutant is deficient in <jats:italic>ent-</jats:italic> kaurene oxidase activity, the first cytochrome P450-mediated step in the gibberellin biosynthetic pathway. By using a combination of conventional map-based cloning and random sequencing we identified a putative cytochrome P450 gene mapping to the same location as <jats:italic>GA3</jats:italic> . Relative to the progenitor line, two <jats:italic>ga3</jats:italic> mutant alleles contained single base changes generating in-frame stop codons in the predicted amino acid sequence of the P450. A genomic clone spanning the P450 locus complemented the <jats:italic>ga3-2</jats:italic> mutant. The deduced GA3 protein defines an additional class of cytochrome P450 enzymes. The <jats:italic>GA3</jats:italic> gene was expressed in all tissues examined, RNA abundance being highest in inflorescence tissue. </jats:p>
