Subject:       tet-system in Arabidopsis
A current collaborative effort between Joachim Schieman, Christiane Gatz
and myself involves establishing the tet-system in Arabidopsis thaliana. We
have generated Tet-VP16 expressing Arabidopsis lines and Top10-GUS reporter
lines.
In crosses of five Tet-VP16 expressing lines with a Top10-GUS line
tetrazyclin sensitive GUS expression is observed in the F1.
