Abstract
This project aims to establish new technologies for the transcriptional analysis of single cells and small cell clusters, to underpin understanding of the control of cell fate during plant embryogenesis. The project will exploit the model genetic organism Arabidopsis thaliana, in which embryogenesis is well characterised developmentally. New techniques of laser-capture microdissection combined with cDNA microarrays will be used to investigate global changes in the transcriptomes of cells of the Arabidopsis embryo. This will lead to new understanding of transcriptional changes during the establishment of embryonic polarity, morphogenesis and cell differentiation.
