Genetic analysis of tropisms of Arabidopsis thaliana

摘要: It has been evident for many years that genetic tools would greatly assist in obtaining a deeper understanding of tropistic responses. An intensive effort devoted to the development these two organisms, fungus, Phycomyces blakesleeanus, and higher plant, Arabidopsis thaliana. In both cases, mutants have identified characterized which alterations specific These then used test dissect physiology tropisms. Efforts with concentrated on blue light responses including phototropism (Galland Lipson, 1987; Galland, 1990). The emphasis somewhat different; described gravitropism. purpose this article is describe some are now available progress made using tools.
