In a paper just out in PLoS Genetics, we report the generation of a large-scale collection of knockdowns for Arabidopsis thaliana miRNA families.
This has been achieved using artificial miRNA target mimics, a recently developed technique fashioned on an endogenous … Read the rest
In collaboration with several groups from around the world, we have recently discovered a locus that underlies a major fitness trade-off between growth and disease resistance in Arabidopsis thaliana.
This work was published today in Nature. An allele at … Read the rest

A collection of 80 A. thaliana accessions sequenced as part of the 1001 Genomes Project is available from ABRC.
Each of the accessions is an inbred line that can be ordered as an individual line or as a set (… Read the rest
Last year, we demonstrated that short-read sequencing is very useful to hunt down mutations causal for phenotypes in lines isolated from EMS mutant screens (Schneeberger et al., 2009).
However, this was for mutations induced in the Col-0 reference background, for … Read the rest
