Suitability of two distinct approaches for the high-throughput study of the post-embryonic effects of embryo-lethal mutations in Arabidopsis.

Abstract excerpt

Several hundred genes are required for embryonic and gametophytic development in the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana, as inferred from the lethality of their mutations. Despite many of these genes are expressed throughout the plant life cycle, the corresponding mutants arrest at early stages, preventing the study of their post-embryonic functions by conventional methods. Clonal analysis represents an effective...
