*RT-PCR result says that the gene which is
homologous toAT3G56230 is expressed at all
stages and organs of SRB.
*Genechip data says that AT3G56230
is expressed only at Mature green seed,
Seedling (3DAI), Roots and stem.

Is there any KO of my gene in Madison lines?
*AT3G56230
R19
FV
RV
I couldn’t find any KO of AT3G56230.
The insertion site is upstream of the gene. (-594bp)
*AT4G18650
FV
I couldn’t find any KO of AT4G18650.
The insertion site is downstream of the gene.

What should be done next to study the functions?
*Get more plants which have a insertion in the genes.
*Observe and study the knockout plants.
*Study with other knockout lines.
The final goal is to answer these questions.
*What is the function of the protein?
*What is the structure of the protein?
*How it is regulated?
What we did in this class is only the beginning of the research.
