Abstract excerpt
T-DNA activation tagging was used to generate tobacco mutants with increased tolerance to antimicrotubular herbicides and chilling stress. After transformation, protoplast-derived calli were screened for tolerance to treatments that affect microtubule assembly. In one screen mutants with tolerance to aryl carbamates (a blocker of microtubule assembly) were selected, the second screen was targeted to...
