NASC ID: N19997

Name: Education Kits:

ABRC stock number: CS19997

Description: This set of 2 stocks is used in the module EXPRESSION ANALYSIS OF LIGHT-REGULATED GENES IN THE det1-1 MUTANT. The module is based on light signaling pathways in plants, specifically Arabidopsis. Over the course of three labs, students are introduced to the techniques of RNA isolation and Reverse Transcription PCR (RT-PCR) for the purpose of analyzing differences in mRNA content of light-regulated genes between wild-type and det1-1 mutant samples. First, students are able to assess phenotypic differences between wild-type and det1-1 plants grown in the presence or absence of light. Next, through RT-PCR students gain an understanding of how mutation in one gene can cause downstream effects in signaling pathways to alter the response to light.Donors: Kim Loney.
