Note About Images

 

Photo 1

bar-coded Arabidopsis plants; caption is below

The image displays a set of bar-coded Arabidopsis plants each containing an insertion of the Agrobacterium T-DNA into the genome. Using high-throughput DNA sequencing techniques, the precise locations of each insertion mutation has been determined and used to create a public database of genome-wide gene mutations.

Photo 2

a single Arabidopsis mutant line; caption is below

The image displays a single Arabidopsis mutant line from the Salk Institute insertion mutant collection/database. The location of the Agrobactrium T-DNA insertion is known from sequencing of the genome.

Photo 3

researcher and Arabidopsis plants; caption is below

The image shows Salk scientist (Justin Zimmerman) tending to Arabidopsis plants in a high throughput growth facility used for propagation of insertion mutants. Seeds collected from these Salk lines have been distributed throughout the world by the Arabidopsis Biological Resource Center at Ohio State University.

Photo 5

scientist collecting sample seeds of Arabidopsis mutant plants

The image shows Salk acientist (Justin Zimmerman) collecting a sample of seeds of an Arabidopsis mutant plant. Seeds collected from the Salk insertion mutant collections have been distributed throughout the world by the Arabidopsis Biological Resource Center at Ohio State University.

Photo 7

a small segment of one Arabidopsis chromosome; caption is below

The image depicts the locations of Agrobacterium T-DNA insertions (triangles) in a small segment of one Arabidopsis chromosome. The locations of individual predicted genes (top line) and the transcription units (bottom line) are indicated by the multi-colored boxes.
