These are methods to screen for and assay the activity of the common reporter enzyme β-Glucuronidase (GUS) activity. Because the catalytic activity of β-Glucuronidase is very similar to β-Galactosidase (LacZ) these protocols are also similar to the LacZ protocols. [Source: Open WetWare]. Open WetWare is a bit like Wikipedia for scientists and researchers working in…

Stanislav Vitha, Microscopy and Imaging Center, Texas A&M University. The protocol is a guideline that should be compatible with many plant specimens. The paper includes a good section of refernces for further reading and alternatve protocls.
