Abstract
We have developed new genetic techniques for precisely visualising and manipulating cells within living plants. We wish to use these tools for targeted cell ablation and misexpression in a model plant system, the Arabidopsis root, and to characterise cell-cell interactions within the meristem. Our aim is to gain an outline of the genetic interactions that coordinate the cellular development of the root meristem. This dominant genetic approach will allow the deliberate engineering of plant form and the generation of new agronomic traits.
