Here's a photo of a nicotiana rustica plant that has been transformed with agrobacterium to express the reporter UBQ:RUBY. RUBY converts tyrosine to red betalain, easily visible without any UV light or other special equipment or procedures.
The nicotiana rustica plant was transformed at CCL by participants in a plant molecular biology workgroup/
project GRFT is also working with UBQ:RUBY in transforming rice.
