Interpretive Summary: Technical Abstract: Seed germination and seedling growth are important biological processes in agriculture and malting industry. A new research project was initiated to identify the genes important to the processes and related signal transduction pathways. Microarray technologies will be employed to examine global gene expression in wild type and mutated Arabidopsis and barley plants. The candidate genes will be identified by comparing gene expression profiling data from plant tissues at different physiological conditions and genetic backgrounds. The functions of the candidate genes will be further validated using genetic approaches in Arabidopsis and barley. The gene expression profiling data, selection of candidate genes and transcriptional regulation of the seed germination and seedling growth will be presented and discussed. |
