Eukaryotic genes often have regions of DNA which do not                         encode protein sequence.  These regions, called introns, are                    transcribed into RNA but are spliced out before the mature                      messenger RNA is translated into protein.  Dr. Brian D.                         Keith, a Postdoctoral Fellow in Plant Biology, plans to study                   this process in Arabidopsis Thaliana in the laboratory of Dr.                   Gerald Fink at the Whitehead Institute.  Because the                            inability to correctly splice a messenger RNA for an                            essential protein would be lethal, he will first make                           temperature sensitive mutants, mutants which can                                correctly splice the mRNA at one temperature and not at                         another, and then look for splicing mutants.                                                                                                                    This work should contribute to our understanding of a                           fundamental mechanism in plants about which little is known.
