Description:
This set of three stocks can be used with the "Same Genes, Different Fates" module to introduce students to the concept of differential gene expression, a process by which cells with identical genetic information give rise to cells with different structures and functions (specialized cells). The lab portion includes the analysis of gene expression of two Arabidopsis genes: MLO9 (involved in chlorophyll production) and MLO4 (involved in root cell division) in Arabidopsis seedlings, using GUS reporter gene. The kit contents are sufficient for 24 students, working in groups of four. GUS substrate has been prepared and is provided frozen, in a 15 ml tube wrapped in foil (it is light sensitive), and should be stored frozen.
