PHENAMIL METHANESULFONATE

Methylated Polyamines as Research Tools

resulted in corresponding di-Boc-amines, which after deprotection gave target β- and γ-MeSpd’s. To prepare α-MeSpd, the starting compound, 3-amino-1-butanol, was converted into N -Cbz-3-amino-1-butyl methanesulfonate, which alkylated putrescine

Genetic Screens for Floral Mutants in Arabidopsis thaliana: Enhancers and Suppressors

. Here, we first describe two commonly employed methods for mutagenesis (using ethyl methanesulfonate (EMS) or T-DNAs as mutagens), and then describe three methods for identifying a mutation that leads to phenotypic alterations—traditional map-based cloning, TAIL-PCR, and deep

EMS Mutagenesis of Arabidopsis

. With development of new techniques such as targeting induced local lesions in genomes (TILLING), ethyl methanesulfonate (EMS) mutagenesis can be used for both forward and reverse genetic studies. Generation of diverse mutant alleles in the same gene provides
