title: European consortia building integrated resources for Arabidopsis functional genomics.
abstract: European laboratories specializing in functional genomics technologies collaborate in several consortia to build resources that facilitate gene function discovery in Arabidopsis thaliana. These resources include CATMA (a repertoire of gene-specific sequence tags), CAGE (a compendium of transcript profiles), AGRIKOLA (which consists of plasmids and mutant lines for gene silencing), ORFEUS (a collection of open reading frames) and SAP (a collection of promoter regions).
