Turning plants red with UBQ:RUBY at CCL

 


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.
