Who would have thought BRX mutants and transgenics will make it to the museum one day? An intriguing exposition at the Natural History Museum in Sion explores the question where the “natural” in living beings ends and the “artificial” starts? As a wide variety of exhibits demonstrates, the answer is not straightforward…
For example, among a few of the exhibits provided by our lab through the efforts of Cecilia is this giant print of Arabidopsis thaliana null mutants in the BRX gene, one occurring naturally, the other induced artificially, and their wildtype and transgenically complemented counterparts.
