Arabidopsis

Through collaboration with the Seattle TILLING Project, we used the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana as a tool for examining plant gene function through reverse genetics. We were able to provide researchers in the Genome Prairie Abiotic Stress group and the Genome B.C. Forestry Genomics group with a total of 171 mutations in 20 different genes that may be commercially important in agriculture or forestry. This project is completed.
