Popis: We describe a new luciferase reporter gene,luc INT, for early detection of luciferase activity inAgrobacterium transformation studies, and present improved techniques for the extraction of luciferase that decrease the time needed to quantitate luciferase activity. Theluc INT reporter gene combines the PIV2 intron fromGUS INT withluc *, the modified luciferase gene.luc INTis expressed in plant cells but not inAgrobacterium, allowing earlier detection of gene expression in the presence ofAgrobacterium during transformations in tobacco leaf discs. Stable expression levels ofluc INT andluc * in tobacco suspension cultures are compared for two different promoters.
