Project Description:
Transcription factors (TF) are recognised as having a great biotechnological potential and also to have played a pivotal role in the evolution of plants. The aim of this project is to establish the function of plant TFs, and it will involve (i) the definition of TF gene expression patterns in Arabidopsis, (ii) the identification of insertion mutations at TF loci, (iii) the ectopic expression of TFs (or derivatives) in Arabidopsis and in crop plants, (iv) their phenotypic analysis, (v) the analysis of interactions between TFs, and (vi) the generation of a bioinformatics infrastructure. This programme will help to reveal the full biotechnological potential of plant TFs and provide insights into hierachies, redundancies, interdependencies and into their evolution. The study will involve the preparation of a TF gene array and of a normalised TF ORF library in a 2-Hybrid vector, two tasks justifying the European dimension of the project.
