Abstract

Jasmonates are plant growth regulators which control development, and regulate a variety of genes including those involved in response to stress and attack by pests and pathogens. This proposal is to genetically dissect the jasmonate signal transduction pathway through the characterisation of new mutants in Arabidopsis. The mutants will be detected in mutagenised transgenic plants by screening for the aberrant expression of reporter genes driven by the jasmonate-responsive promoter from the vegetative storage protein gene. The mutations will be characterised genetically, to identify different genes and epistatic relationships, and will be further characterised by their effect on expression of selected jasmonate-regulated genes. Selected mutants will be mapped to linkage groups.
