Abstract

Technologies that facilitate misexpression of genes in specific developmental patterns will be an important tool in investigating gene function in Arabidopsis. To date, attempts to establish such technology have used heterologous transcription factors that can provide tight spatial control of expression but offer little or no temporal control. Having optimised a chemically inducible and repressible expression system for Arabidopsis, we now wish to establish an enhancer trapped population that allows a target gene to be induced in specific spatial patterns using either of two inducing chemicals. This will provide unparalleled control over the position and timing of transgenic expression in Arabidopsis.
