Project Description:
A network of laboratories will be formed to create a large population of gene-trap insertions in the genome of Arabidopsis thaliana to detect the spatial and temporal expression patterns of approximately 5.000 genes, and to identify and characterise the regulatory elements of these genes. Data obtained on the genes, in which transposons are inserted, will be obtained by sequencing the insertion site and this will be related to genome sequence and expression patterns in a functional genomics database. Gene expression patterns in a wide range of tissues and conditions will be defined and put in the database. The products of research will be a powerful resource to analyse the function of 20% of the genes in Arabidopsis, and these will be exploited by industrial partners.
