Arabidopsis thaliana"Thale cress", "mouse-ear cress" or "A Drosophila for the plant kingdom"
We study many mutants of Arabidopsis, especially those with altered circadian clocks, named toc1, tic, elf3 and elf4. We created transgenic plants containing fusions between regulatory regions of Arabidopsis genes and the firefly luciferase gene. The bioluminescence of these transgenic plants reflects the rhythmic patterns of gene regulation. Video imaging of the bioluminescence allowed us and others to find mutants with altered gene regulation, including clock mutants.
