For ordering such materials, the applicants must obtain all of the permission required by any kind of regulation or law before ordering. Also, it is recipient’s responsibility to perform customs procedure for importation of biological materials. Please inform us when you need quarantine certification to import Arabidopsis seeds. Without providing such information, RIKEN BRC cannot guarantee any loss or damage of the materials that is caused during customs procedure. |
| (5) | Although the background ecotype of this resource has been reported as No-0 (Nossen), we found polymorphisms between the No-0 line from SASSC and the parental lines provided by Dr. Fedoroff. We recommend users to use the parental lines available from ABRC as control plants in your experiments. List of parental line is available from our HP. |
