The Big Question

To understand the factors and mechanisms controlling gene expression in plant growth and development, to develop novel genetic technologies for manipulating gene expression and to use the knowledge so gained to improve plant characteristics to enhance crop production.

Plant growth and development are determined by changing patterns of gene activity. We are concerned with identifying genes critical for a plant's response to the environment and for its development. The new technologies of genomics, especially microarrays for expression analysis and transposon tagging for functional genomics, will be established in Arabidopsis and rice. Using these techniques we will identify genes with important roles in plant development. Having identified and isolated these genes we can then determine how these genes are regulated. We can also determine the intermediate steps in the signal transduction pathways mediating a plant's response to environmental or developmental stimuli.

Our approach often involves isolating mutants blocked in key steps in the response. This identifies genes critical to the pathway, which can then be isolated.

We have developed the hairpin technology for silencing gene expression in plants. We are defining the rules for the efficient application of this technology both for specific genes and for genome wide approaches.

Among our targets are genes required for reproductive development. Development of male floral organs and seed development are being dissected in this way. The initiation of flowering is an important developmental switch and genes which initiate flowering in response to environmental or developmental stimuli are being sought.

Plant hormones mediate many environmental and developmental responses. The role of gibberellins and abscissic acid in controlling gene expression during germination and seedling growth is being analysed. Promoter elements and signal transduction pathways are being identified.

Our understanding of gene expression is being applied to genetic engineering. Cotton is being engineered for improved resistance to disease and pests, and barley for improved disease resistance and malting quality.

The Short-term goals

• Understand the epigenetic basis of vernalization and its role in determining flowering time
• Improve the iron content of rice
• Use genomics to identify genes important in agricultural situations
