[Plant-education] Drought-inducible GFP plants

[Paul Silverman]

Hi,

I saw a message on this yesterday-that someone in Thialand had used a
GFP reporter gene to show plant water status
 (http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20060307/sc_nm/singapore_dc ). After a
little scratching around, I found that Jen Sheen had published this use
a decade back.

Has anyone used a GFP construct in teaching? How do you visualize the
GFP?


Thanks,

Paul
