Plant genomic resources harbouring gain-of-function mutations remain rare, even though this type of mutation is believed to be one of the most useful for elucidating the function of unknown genes that have redundant partners in the genome. An activation-tagging T-DNA was introduced into the genome of Arabidopsis creating 55,431 independent transformed lines. Of these T1 lines, 1,262 showed phenotypes different from those of wild-type plants.
