Abstract
A key question in plant biology is how genes regulate development. We have developed a powerful new system of laser-capture microdissection, in combination with DNA microarray analysis, to identify genes encoding transcription factors and signalling pathway components expressed during plant embryogenesis. The project aims to employ phenotypic and genetic analyses to determine embryonic gene function for several novel candidate regulatory genes, and will lead to new understanding of mechanisms controlling the establishment of embryonic polarity, morphogenesis and cell differentiation. The project will form the basis for future modelling of genetic interactions in the developing embryo.
