Abstract excerpt
Despite the availability of the finished genome sequence and tools for its analyses, few rice genes have been characterized. Because Agrobacterium-mediated transformation causes random T-DNA insertions across the genome, T-DNA can be a good mutagen for functional genomics. Gene-indexed mutants with flanking sequences around inserted T-DNA are valuable resources for accelerating functional characterizations of...
