Effects of ionizing radiation on a plant genome: analysis of two Arabidopsis transparent testa mutations.

Abstract excerpt

Ionizing radiation is known to cause chromosomal alterations such as inversions and deletions and has been used extensively for inducing mutations. In Arabidopsis, two methods for the isolation of genes identified on the basis of mutant phenotypes--genomic subtraction and chromosome walking--either rely on or are greatly facilitated by the availability of these types of mutations. This article gives a detailed...
