Abstract
The objective of this application is to determine whether it is possible to use 2D digital thermal imaging to identify plants, which carry mutations affecting guard cell function or development. The project will last 9 months. The first step will be to determine whether the technique is capable of distinguishing known stomatal mutants from wild type Arabidopsis plants. Then an M2 EMS mutagenised population and a tagged population will be screened using this approach. If the technique is successful seed will be harvested from putative mutant plants.
