This approach is called reverse genetics and it is a powerful and sensitive tool to study the function of genes and, when combined with studies in higher plants such as Arabidopsis thaliana, can be used to study molecular plant evolution.
This method is referred to as reverse genetics and it serves as a potent and delicate instrument to investigate the role of genes and, when paired with studies in higher plants such as Arabidopsis thaliana, can be utilized to study molecular plant evolution.
