Project description:Comparison of wild-type and vip3. The Arabidopsis thaliana VERNALIZATION INDEPENDENCE (VIP) gene class has multiple functions in development, including repression of flowering through activation of MADS box gene FLC. Among VIP genes, VIP genes encode yeast Paf1 complex homolog which is required for histone modification, transcriptional elongation. To identify genes regulated by VIP3, we performed Affymetrix Arabidopsis gene chip analysis and compared gene transcription profiles from wild-type and vip3 mutant plants. We found more than 200 genes misregulated in vip3 mutant plants compring to wild-type plant. Keywords: Comparison of wild -type and vip3 mutants
