Adding Precision Tools to the Plant Biologists' Toolbox with Chemical Genomics

The scope of our knowledge regarding plant genetic mechanisms and gene functions is rapidly evolving and expanding. This is primarily due to the availability of genetic and genomic methods for investigating model species, such as Arabidopsis ( Arabidopsis thaliana ). To fuel future advances, current
