The classical genetic map of Arabidopsis contains 462 genes with
mutant phenotypes. Chromosomal locations of these genes have been
determined over the past 25 years based on recombination frequencies
with visible and molecular markers. The most recent update of the
classical map was published in a special genome issue of
Science that dealt with Arabidopsis (D.W. Meinke, J.M. Cherry, C. Dean, S.D. Rounsley, M. Koornneef [1998] Science 282: 662-682). We present here a comprehensive list and sequence-based map
of 620 cloned genes with mutant phenotypes. This map documents for the
first time the exact locations of large numbers of Arabidopsis genes
that give a phenotype when disrupted by mutation. Such a community-based physical map should have broad applications in Arabidopsis research and should serve as a replacement for the classical genetic map in the future. Assembling a comprehensive list of
genes with a loss-of-function phenotype will also focus attention on
essential genes that are not functionally redundant and ultimately
contribute to the identification of the minimal gene set required to
make a flowering plant.
