Abstract
Genes are being increasingly identified on the sole basis of sequence analysis, and altering the expression of a possible gene product is becoming an important technique for testing its possible role in development or regulation. The aim of this proposal is to generate a library of freely available GAL4- containing Arabidopsis lines which can be used to direct the mis-expression of a chosen gene at a particular time and place within the developing plant. A novel fluorescent reporter gene is being developed for marking living cells, and this library would provide a common entry point for various reverse genetic approaches to the analysis and manipulation of gene function.
