Abstract

A large international project is underway to sequence the Arabidopsis genome. In other systems, notably yeast, such programmes have identified many novel gene sequences, but often the function of these genes cannot be readily ascertained from the sequence. The objective of this project is to establish a system that will enable investigators to inactivate these genes, and assess the effect of this on the phenotype of the mutant plant. Insertions of transposons into sequenced open reading frames will be identified by PCR, and the effect of the insertions on phenotype assessed.
