Abstract
The degree of shoot branching is an important agronomic trait. We are taking a molecular genetic approach to study shoot branching control using the model plant Arabidopsis. We have identified by mutation 6 new loci involved in the control of shoot branching. We wish to develop new tools to characterise the mutants by: (1) Generating new transactivation-based enhancer trap lines (2) Identifying second site suppressor mutations by activation tagging.
