Rice protoplasts preparation and transformation were conducted according to the method of Zhang et al., 2011 (link). The sheaths and stems of 30–40 seedlings were cut into 0.5 mm strips and incubated immediately in 10 mL enzyme solution for 4–5 h in the dark at 25 °C with gentle shaking (60 rpm). The protoplasts were purified and resuspended in 1–2 mL MMG solution at a concentration of 5 × 106 cells mL−1. Plasmids (5–10 μg) prepared by an EndoFree Plasmid Midi Kit (CWBIO, Beijing, China) were used for transfection. For the protein degradation assay, DMSO (mock) or 20 μM MG132 (Millipore), H2O (0 μM), 1, 5, and 25 μM E‐64 (Sigma‐Aldrich) or Leupeptin (Sigma‐Aldrich) were added to the protoplasts 12 or 4 h after transfection and treated for 4 or 12 h. For the time course treatment, 20 μM MG132 and/or 50 μM cycloheximide (CHX, Sigma‐Aldrich) were added to the protoplasts 12 h after transfection and treated for 2 h, 4 h, and 6 h. For pathogen mimic treatment, H2O (0 μM), 0.5, 1, 2, and 5 μM Flg22 (Sangon Biotech) were added to the protoplasts 16 h after transfection and treated for 2 h. Transfection experiments were repeated at least three times.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Eukaryotic expression vectors were extracted using the EndoFree Plasmid Midi Kit (CW2105S; CWBIO), according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Before transfection, RAW264.7 macrophages were seeded in 2-cm glass-bottom cell culture dishes or 10-cm cell culture dishes for 24 h. Then, RAW264.7 macrophages were transiently transfected with the indicated eukaryotic expression vectors using Lipofectamine LTX DNA Transfection Reagent (15338100; Invitrogen) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Briefly, endofree plasmid DNA diluted in serum-free medium was mixed with PLUS Reagent. The diluted DNA solution was added to diluted Lipofectamine LTX Reagent and incubated for 5 min at room temperature. The resulting DNA – lipid complex was directly dropped into RAW264.7 and incubated for 24 h at 37°C with 5% CO2.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
