Abstract
The aim is to use a genetic approach in Arabidopsis to identify gene products involved specifically in interactions between environmental signal transduction pathways regulating gene expression. We will isolate mutants altered in the synergistic interactions between UV- B and blue light, UV-B and UV-A light and blue light and low temperature, which hyper- induce transcription of the chalcone synthase gene. Mutant isolation will involve the production and imaging of transgenic seedlings expressing a CHS promoter-luciferase fusion. Mutants will be characterised with respect to their gene expression phenotype and genetic map position.
