拟南芥菜、水稻、蕃茄、土豆、玉米、小麦和大豆的全基因组测序为植物细胞和发育生物学研究提供了许多有用的信息。基因组学的中心任务是利用这些信息去探索蛋白质的功能和鉴定与发育有关的重要基因。尽管依赖于毁坏基因和产生可识别的突变表型的经典遗传学方法仍然是极为成功的基因鉴定方法，借助于报告基因结构，随机插入植物基因组的T-DNA介导的基因诱捕正发展成为植物细胞和发育生物学研究的极强有力的技术。本文描述了基因诱捕、启动子诱捕和增强子诱捕在植物生物学中的应用，并且希望这些基因鉴定方法有助于植物分子生物学家和生物技术工作者的研究。“,”The fully sequenced genomes of Arabidopsis, rice, tomato, potato, maize, wheat, and soybean offer large amounts of information about cellular and developmental biology. It is a central challenge of genomics to use this information in discovering the function of proteins and identifying developmentally important genes. Although classical genetic approaches to gene identification which rely on disruption of a gene leading to a recognizable phenotype continues to be an extremely successful one, T-DNA mediated gene trap tagging which has been de-veloped that utilize random integration of reporter gene constructs has also proven to be an extremely powerful tool in plant cellular developmental biology. In this review, how gene trap tagging, promoter trap tagging, and en-hancer trap tagging detection systems have been applied to plant biology is described and these gene identifica-tion techniques could be useful to the plant molecular biology and plant biotechnology community.
