Abstract
Forward genetics has been extremely powerful for dissecting biological pathways in various model organisms. However, it is limited by the fact that redundant gene families and essential genes cannot be readily uncovered through such methods. Chemical genetics, on the other hand, provides a valuable complementary approach to probe biological processes and is suitable for not only genetic model organisms but also genetically less tractable species. We describe here a high-throughput chemical genetic screening method simply based on plant growth and developmental phenotypes in Arabidopsis. It was successfully utilized to study plant immunity and can be easily adapted for dissecting other plant signal transduction pathways.
