General description
Kit is used to anaylze β glucuronidase (E.coli GUS gene) expression in transformed plants.
Application
The E. coli GUS gene is extensively used to analyze gene expression in transformed plants. Plants have low intrinsic GUS activity, and the E. coli gene is quite stable in plant cells. As a tag, GUS remains active at the N-terminus of fusion proteins.
Kit is suitable for biochemical activity assays, immunological assays and histochemical staining of tissue and cells.
Kit is suitable for biochemical activity assays, immunological assays and histochemical staining of tissue and cells.
Features and Benefits
- Histochemical staining of plant tissues expressing the E. coli GUS enzyme
- Ideally suited to plant expression studies due to very low GUS activity in plants and high enzyme stability
- GUS does not interfere with plant cell function or viability
Other Notes
The substrate used in this kit is X-GlcA (5-bromo-4-chloro-3-indolyl β-D-glucuronide) which results in an insoluble indigo-blue precipitate in transfected cells and tissues.
