Abstract
Promoter-driven GUS (beta-glucuronidase) activity is the most commonly used technique for tissue-specific expression patterns in Arabidopsis. In this procedure, GUS enzyme converts 5-bromo-4-chloro-3-indolyl glucuronide (X-Gluc) to a blue product. The staining is very sensitive. Processed samples can be examined under dissecting microscope or Differential Interference Contrast (Nomaski) microscope for bright blue color over cleared transparent background. Note this assay does not provide accurate information to subcellular levels.
