Where to go from here… • Promoter + GFP • Multiple Knockouts (determined via microarrays) • Other, non-knockout related experiments
Conclusion Primary Goal Know Gene Functionality Primary Method T-DNA Knockout ----------------------- • What are the characteristics of the genes and T-DNA inserts? • Plant Genotypes? • Plant Phenotypes? • What Next?
