Abstract

The project aims at identifying the molecular components of the genetic networks controlling the architecture, growth and shape of leaves by using Arabidopsis as a model for simple leaf formation and its close relative Cardamine as a model for compound leaf formation. A model for growth in leaves using several parameters will be determined for simple and compound leaf wild types, which will enable us to classify the mutants according to their growth defects. Genome-wide gene expression analyses will be performed on wild type and mutants at different growth stages by micro-array analysis in order to describe the molecular pathways that are acting during a specific growth stage or that are induced or inactivated upon mutation. A knowledge database will be generated for the in depth study of genotype-phenotype.
