Is My Gene Important for Seed Development in Plants?? Gene: AT3G53370 Jonathan Milgrom Spring 2004 What Does My Gene Do? Transcription Factor* • Repressor of Spinach gene rps1 • Active in roots • Highly conserved in plant kingdom Transcription factor *Dao-Xiu Zhou, Cordelia Bisanz Seyer Knockout the gene and find out! • Engineer agrobacteria to insert tDNA • Grow mutant seeds • Genotype tDNA AT3G53370 Is This Function Integral to Seed Development ?
