The Versailles Arabidopsis Stock Center (VASC): original genetic resources exploiting both induced and natural diversity to investigate gene functions and analyze the impact of variation on plant biology

Arabidopsis thaliana is a powerful plant model for functional biology, genetics and, more recently, population genomics. The Versailles Arabidopsis Stock Center collects, produces, preserves, characterizes and distributes various Arabidopsis biological resources. Besides large collections of mutant...

description Arabidopsis thaliana is a powerful plant model for functional biology, genetics and, more recently, population genomics. The Versailles Arabidopsis Stock Center collects, produces, preserves, characterizes and distributes various Arabidopsis biological resources. Besides large collections of mutants, including homozygous mutant lines, this stock centre offers numerous natural genotypes collected worldwide, as well as resources resulting from crosses between these variants. Most of the resources are unique and can be useful to a wide range of users, ensuring cumulative characterization of the same material over time. They are accompanied by molecular characterization, genotyping or sequencing data, enabling the analysis of diversity’s impact, particularly on complex plant traits. The collections are made easily and reliably available through an information system comprising a database and a web portal for description and distribution (https://publiclines.versailles.inrae.fr/). Several thousand seed lots are provided each year to the international scientific community.
