A roadmap for identifying functions for uncharacterized plant genes. Various prediction methods are available for plant genes that can be complemented with microbial prediction methods if good microbial homologs exist. Functional predictions can be validated experimentally; relatively quick genetic tests in microbes may help decide if more expensive and time-consuming plant genetics and biochemical assays are worthwhile.
