Abstract excerpt
In this paper, we describe a reliable method for the screening and selection of Arabidopsis transgenic seeds within minutes without germination. Expression of the Aspergillus niger beta-glucosidase gene BGL1 in the plant's endoplasmic reticulum was used as a visual marker, together with 4-methylumbelliferyl-beta-D-glucopyranoside (MUGluc) as a substrate. Subsequent to incubation in a solution of MUGluc at room...
