Types of stocks We maintain and distribute a
wealth of characterised mutants and multiple
markers a wide variety of enhancer and promoter
trap lines (both GUS and GFP), suitable for
expression studies several mapping populations
and hundreds of ecotypes, which are of particular
interest to post genomic research and offer a
reservoir of natural genetic variation.
Gene disruption lines Collections from the SALK
Institute, John Innes Centre together with the
IMA (Institute for Molecular Agrobiology) lines
from Singapore, GABI-Kat lines from
Max-Planck-Institute, lines from the CSHL (Cold
Spring Harbor Laboratory) and SAIL T-DNA lines
from Syngenta, constitute a very large number of
sequenced characterised insertion lines suitable
for reverse genetics. These can be found via our
AtEnsembl genome browser (http//atensembl.arabido
psis.info). RNAi entry and delivery vectors are
available from the AGRIKOLA consortium for 25000
genes and seed lines are available for 786
genes.

Mapping lines We have a range of lines for
mapping and QTL analysis, including recombinant
inbred populations (Ler x col, Bay-0 x Shahdara),
chromosome substitution and STAIRS (stepped
aligned inbred recombinant strains) lines.

Donations Donations of single lines or
populations are welcome and can be made via the
seed donation form link on our home page or at
the ABRC.
Seed Available
The charging system Single seed / clone stocks
2.25 ( administration fee 8.50 per order) It
is now preferable that you pay for your NASC
orders by credit card. European users are
expected to order through NASC. North and
South American users are expected to order from
ABRC. Laboratories in other locations may order
stocks from either centre.
