Description
Description
This collection contains a set of binary plasmids which targets the calcium sensor aequorin to different subcompartments of the plant cell. These constructs are aimed to generate transgenic Arabidopsis plants via agrobacterial transformation. The set includes constructs targeted to the cytosol, nucleus, inner surface of the plasma membrane, mitochondrial matrix, chloroplast stroma, as well as the inner and outer surface of the chloroplast envelope membranes.

Detailed description
These sets of binary plasmids is based on the pBin19 binary plasmid (1). The coding sequence of aequorin was fused to different targeting peptides or organellar proteins as a means to localise it to various cell compartments. All constructs furthermore consist of a YFP-aequorin fusion that allows easy verification of the correct sub-cellular localisation. There are in total four sets of plasmids. The expression cassette is driven by either the 35S or the Ubiquitin-10 promoter, while at the same time plant selection resistances against Basta and kanamycin are available for each construct.
The modular set-up of the plasmids further allows the easy replacement of targeting sequences to include other compartments.
