Its overall goal is to forge and exploit novel tools to conduct large-scale functional analyses of plant genes, and to help integrate information resulting from diverse analytical approaches. The functional genomics group focuses its activities on the model plant species Arabidopsis thaliana. |

 Genome sequences provide limited information
about the function of the genes they contain. But they can be viewed as lists
of parts that enable reverse genetics approaches impossible to conceive before.
Our aim is to conduct functional screens by introducing genetic perturbations
at a large scale in plant cells.

To accelerate the discovery of gene function, the elements of the plant genomes must be captured into shared and flexible genome- scale resources necessary for systematic functional studies of large gene sets.

Arabidopsis GROwth Network integrating OMICS techno- logies,
in short AGRON-OMICS, is an integrated project supported by the
European 6th Framework Programme. It focuses on the study of the
processes involved in leaf growth and their interactions.

 Functional studies at the genome scale require high-throughput and flexible cloning methods. In an ongoing effort spearheaded by Mansour Karimi, we create, improve and disseminate a comprehensive collection of vectors based on the Gateway (TM) recombinational cloning system and designed for gene expression in plant cells.
