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.

The GUS reporter gene system is already a powerful tool for the assessment of gene activity in transgenic plants. Further developments may lead to routine in vivo analysis and fusion genetics.

We have used the Escherichia coli beta-glucuronidase gene (GUS) as a gene fusion marker for analysis of gene expression in transformed plants. Higher plants tested lack intrinsic beta-glucuronidase activity, thus enhancing the sensitivity with which measurements can be made. We

High-copy-number transposable elements comprise the majority of eukaryotic genomes where they are major contributors to gene and genome evolution. However, it remains unclear how a host genome can survive a rapid burst of hundreds or thousands of insertions because such
