EST Project

  ASPGC is now initiating rice EST projects using developing panicles and seeds. This project is supported by the Theme Project of Academia Sinica.

SAGE Project

  ASPGC is now initiating rice SAGE projects using developing seeds. This project is in collaborative with Dr. W. Crosby, PBI, Canada (http://bioinfo.pbi.nrc.ca/).

Insertional Mutant Project

  A rice insertional mutagenesis population based on T-DNAs will be established through a team effort. The agronomic traits and flanking sequence of insertion sites are collected in the TRIM database.

  The rice insertion mutant team are:

• Generation of mutants:

  • Su-may Yu, Institute of Molecular Biology, Academia Sinica.

• Flanking sequence and database:

  • Yue-ie Hsing, Institute of Botany, Academia Sinica.

  • Teh-yuan Chow, Institute of Botany, Academia Sinica.

• Phenotype recording and seed propagation:

  • Chih-Kuan Chen, Taiwan Agriculture Research Institute

• Seed conservation and PCR screening:

  • Ming-Jen Fan, National Plant Genetic Resources Center
