TARGET
The Arabidopsis
Gene Discovery Network
|

 |
TARGET at the University of Nottingham represents a collection of eight groups whose work focuses on a common experimental organism - Arabidopsis thaliana. TARGET aims to integrate the expertise within our network to facilitate the discovery of plant genes with agricultural importanceArabidopsis thaliana represents the first higher plant to have its entire genome sequence determined (AtENSEMBL). The Arabidopsis genome contains five chromosomes (see logo) that encode over 25, 000 genes, many of which are of agronomic value in related species such as Brassica. A selection of these genes is being studied by TARGET at the University of Nottingham School of Bioscience. Many of the 70 TARGET scientists are accommodated in a new £7 million state of the art Plant Science research building. TARGET is made up of Arabidopsis research groups from the divisions of Plant Sciences, Nutritional Sciences and Agricultural & Environmental Sciences together with the Nottingham Arabidopsis Stock Center (NASC) and the Multi-Disciplinary Centre for Integrative Biology (MyCIB). |
