Optical and electron microscopy and immunocytochemistry in the examination of transgenic expression: consultant final report IICA/EMBRAPA-PROCENSUL II

Abstract

The document refers to the research activities developed: 1) examination of samples of seed obtained from Nicotiana plants possibly transformed with the Brazil nut 2S gene by optical and electron microscopy and immunocytochemistry; 2) examination of a series of samples of Bacillus sphaericus by electron microscopy; 3) examination of cultured Baculovirus, associated nuclear polyhedral bodies, and alkali-released virions from polyhedral bodies; 4) examination of the structure of cocoyam corns and the localisation of specific gene transcription and translation products.
