Abstract

This project is part of a large consortium of European laboratories that are systematically investigating the functions of transcription factors in Arabidopsis. The main tasks of the participants in this consortium are the characterisation of insertional mutants, the assembly of a transcription factor cDNA array, and a large scale effort to investigate interactions between transcription factors in a yeast two-hybrid system. Each participant in the consortium has been allocated a set of genes encoding transcription factors. Our lab focuses on the NAC gene family. The first members of this family were identified in Petunia and Arabidopsis as genes that are necessary for establishment of the shoot apical meristem and for establishing the boundaries between developing organs. Our interest in the family originated from the identification of a NAC gene as a target of regulation by floral homeotic genes.
