Description

CALYX Collection Background

The CALYX collection is a pair of enhancer trap insertion populations made in the Columbia and Ws backgrounds. Each population has been separately transformed with a two-component enhancer trap system using a GUS reporter for confirmation and pattern assessment.

  • The Columbia population contains a LhG4/pOp construct pair
  • The Ws population has an ArgR/pArgF construct pair.

The GUS expression pattern for much of the population of independent transformants has been characterised by a consortium of European laboratories.
