TL;DR: This comparison reveals genomic changes concomitant with the evolutionary movement to land, including a general increase in gene family complexity; loss of genes associated with aquatic environments; acquisition of genes for tolerating terrestrial stresses; and the development of the auxin and abscisic acid signaling pathways for coordinating multicellular growth and dehydration response.

TL;DR: The nucleotide sequence of 1200 bp from the unique region of transposon Tn5 containing the neomycin phosphotransferase gene (neo) was determined, and the location of the neo gene was identified by deletion mutants in a translational reading frame of 792 bp.

TL;DR: The GABI-Kat population of T-DNA mutagenized Arabidopsis thaliana lines with sequence-characterized insertion sites is used extensively for efficient progress in plant functional genomics and the functionality of the population was demonstrated by exemplary confirmation of several new transparent testa alleles.

TL;DR: With this method 1 ng of active enzyme can easily be detected and both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cell extracts can be examined, and changes in the size of enzymatically active proteins can be determined.

TL;DR: A recessive pale mutation, designated as cs, was identified by transferred-DNA (T-DNA)-mediated insertional mutagenesis in Arabidopsis thaliana.
