Abstract
This award aims to define the function of the Arabidopsis COMATOSE (CTS) locus, a major activator of the phase transition from embryo to seedling. This will be achieved by molecular cloning and characterisation of the CTS gene, analysis of the required timing and cell-type expression for CTS activity in the embryo and detailed comparison of the transcriptome between wild type and cts. Mutations at other, newly identified loci that regulate this transition will be characterised in detail. These approaches will provide new gene sequences, information on new genetic loci, and a detailed characterisation of the regulation of germination in Arabidopsis.
