Abstract

We aim to define the genetic function of Expressed Sequence Tag's (ESTs) that are highly conserved between the plant model systems maize, Arabidopsis and rice but for which there is no predicted function. We believe that many of these ESTs will represent genes with important agronomic functions. We will achieve this by screening a maize MUTATOR- AFLP grid with maize cDNAs representing ESTs that show strong homology with rice and Arabidopsis ESTs. We will further develop the size of the grid, which we will make available to the UK plant science community as a general resource.
