Abstract

A wide range of genetic diversity exists in various members of the Brassicaceae, notably in the genera Arabidopsis and Brassica. Comprehensive seed collections include mutants, transgenic lines, chromosomal variants, mapping populations, Targeting Induced Local Lesions in Genomes (TILLING), and natural accessions, collected from the wild. Many molecular resources have been developed and are widely utilized in research. These include expressed sequence tags (ESTs); full length, sequence-validated cDNA clones of many genes; bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) libraries; and vectors with multiple applications. Diverse resources are maintained by numerous institutions and specialized centers. Various public and private databases with comprehensive information about the collections are also available. This chapter focuses on the resources for the members of this family, with emphasis on collections that are publicly available.

Emma M. Knee and Luz Rivero are co-first authors
