Question

Part B In most plants, such as Arabidopsis, genes whose encoded products have roles related to photosynthesis have expression patterns that vary in a circadian manner. Using this knowledge, how would you screen for Arabidopsis mutants that have an impaired circadian rhythm? Seed from wild-type plants would be treated with a mutagen, allowed to develop and self-fertilize, and the progeny collected and screened for reduced fertility. Seed from wild-type plants would be treated with a mutagen, allowed to develop and self-fertilize, and the progeny collected and screened for gene expression profile defects. Seed from wild-type plants would be treated with a mutagen, allowed to develop and self-fertilize, and the progeny collected and screened for reduced growth rate. Seed from wild-type plants would be treated with a mutagen, allowed to develop and self-fertilize, and the progeny collected and screened for reduced viability.
