Summary

高分子植物细胞之间的贩运,可以通过瞬时表达利益荧光标记的蛋白质,分析其内部和细胞间共聚焦显微镜的分布进行评估。

Abstract

在这里,我们提出一个简单而快速的的协议来检测和评估,在植物细胞与细胞大分子运输的程度。在这个协议中,一个荧光标记的利益蛋白在植物组织中瞬时表达其编码的DNA构建的基因枪交付。标签蛋白内和细胞间的分布是由共聚焦显微镜分析。我们详细描述了这一技术,提供一步一步的协议,以检测和评估symplastic蛋白运输在3个植物物种的程度,拟南芥,烟草benthamiana和N. tabacum(烟草)。

Protocol

背景 Symplastic运输大分子通过植物细胞间的连接,胞间连丝,是许多植物病理学家和生物学家的兴趣。例如,一些病毒蛋白是已知的,规范plasmodesmal大小排斥的限制,以使病毒运动1-3。此外,一些内源性蛋白,其中重要的发展监管,是假设从细胞到细胞的移动,大概是通过胞间连丝,功能非细胞自主4。因此,一个可靠的方法来识别和可视化植物细胞的大分子之?…

Discussion

symplastic运输检测成功的关键是获得高转化效率,这使得生产的统计学意义,并轻松地探测信号集群。这样就可以实现使用健康,植株健壮收获的叶子,并准备由一个纯粹和浓缩DNA的制备涂层的金粒子。

使用相同的成长阶段的叶子也是检测的可靠性至关重要。 Plasmodesmal光圈差异调节,取决于对组织7-11的发展阶段。许多植物的叶发展basipetally,从顶点到基地,超过其<su…
