Hi all, Many thanks to Sarah Hodge, my lab has deposited 32 clock mutant and/or transgenic stocks at uNASC since last October. They are now online, many thanks to the curators and team at the Eurasian stock centre, uNASC. NASCIDs are N2107351-69 and N2107700-12 e.g. http://arabidopsis.info/StockInfo?NASC_id=2107360 Some of these are mutant alleles from the EMS mutant screen originally reported in Kevei et al. Plant Journal 2006. http://www.plantphysiol.org/content/140/3/933/F2.expansion.html They include the rare, early-flowering point mutant of GIGANTEA gi-611, reported in Supplementary Figure 3 of Gould et al. Plant Cell 2006, along with gi-596, both of which we thought were lost. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1456873/bin/plntcell_tpc.105.039990_index.html Sarah recovered some of these lines by systematically testing all of our older stocks. Why not deposit earlier? *Cautionary tale*: I delayed depositing at NASC because I was waiting to retrieve homozygotes after more than two back-crosses. However, depositing usable stocks reliably and early is more important than more back-crossing to remove second-site mutations. One can always send in the perfect line later. So come on, clock folks, take half an hour next week to send in your lines!
