  Studied the function of a novel family of genes called the PIRL genes using a reverse genetics approach by creating knockout mutants. Experiments assess the sensitivity of pirl mutant plants to mild heat stress as a way of exacerbating phenotype to study the penetrance of the mutations. Molecular biology research skills such as tissue sampling, DNA gel extraction and quantification, PCR, qPCR, gel electrophoresis, reagent preparation, and light and confocal microscopy were used to analyze… Show more Studied the function of a novel family of genes called the PIRL genes using a reverse genetics approach by creating knockout mutants.
