Immunolocalization of various CKXs in maize David Zalabák Cytokinin Meeting, Olomouc – September 8, 2011
Introduction • Werner et al. 2003 • Šmehilová et al. 2009 Subcellular localization of maize CKXs using direct immuno-techniques and TEM.
Aims • Heterologous expression of ZmCKXs • E. coli; pTYB12; intein tag • 2; 3; (4a); 4b; (5); 10 and 12 • Biochemical characterization • When all CKX purified
