The stock centers have been working hard in the past few months to add new stocks to the collections. Many new seed stocks and clones have been received recently. In this connection a seed donation campaign, conducted jointly by ABRC and NASC, is in progress. Hence, this update will be devoted mainly to the topic of new seed donations.
The stocks received to date (combined for ABRC and NASC) are listed below.

Tsukaya 100 RI Lines Col-5 X Nd-1 E. Holub, J. Beynon, I. CruteNOTE that these stocks are not currently available - with one exception. The ABRC has accelerated the release process with the Ac/Ds stocks donated by Dr. Sundaresan, and these may be ordered from ABRC immediately. Many of the remainder will be available very soon. We will post notices to the Arabidopsis newsgroup when this occurs.
We greatly appreciate the generosity of the donors in sharing their stocks. We hope that the cooperative spirit evidenced by these donations will continue. |
Other Ac lines have been donated by Caroline Dean. These lines were produced by introducing the maize element Ac into Landsberg erecta by Agrobacterium - mediated transformation. The Ac element is inserted into the 5'untranslated leader of a streptomycin phosphotransferase (SPT) gene (Dean et al [1992] Plant Journal 2, 69-81). SPT::Ac -> lines contain the wild type Ac in the same orientation as the SPT gene. In SPT::Ac (BG)-> lines the Ac element has a Bgl 11 restriction site inserted downstream of the transposase polyadenylation site. Both these lines are homozygous for the T-DNA. The Nae1Ac lines contain an Ac derivative, lacking 537bp of the CpG-rich 5' untranslated leader of the transposase. These lines show a higher excision frequency and are described in Lawson et al [1994] Mgg 245, 608-615. Excision of the Ac element from the SPT gene results in resistance to streptomycin. Each Nae1 Ac line is selfed progeny from a highly variegated individual and should result in germinal excision events in the next generation.
The ABRC has a large new collection of DNA stocks, including specifically large insert libraries and filters made from these. Consult previous issues of Weeds World for details of these stocks.
The Web pages of NASC (NASC) and AIMS) can be consulted for additional details of all available Arabidopsis stocks.
