13C methanol of 99 % purity was purchased from Cambridge Isotope Laboratories (Tewksbury, MA). All other chemicals including metabolite standards were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich (St. Louis, MO). Phusion DNA polymerase, dNTP, buffer, ligases, OneTaq Quick-Load 2X Master Mix and the Gibson Assembly Master Mix kits used in this study were from New England Biolabs (Ipswich, MA). Primers, the sequences of which are shown in Table 1, were obtained from Invitrogen (Grand Island, NY) and IDT (Coralville, IA). Acetonitrile and water used as UPLC solvents were UPLC-MS grade. Hypho minimal medium as previously described [24 (link)] was used for 13C flux analysis cell culture and growth rate determination, involving two different concentrations of cobalt (1.35 and 6.31 μM respectively).

The whole coding sequences of PpGA20ox1, 2, 5, PpGA3ox1 and PpGA2ox6 were amplified using cDNA synthesized from shoot tips of ‘QMH’ as templates. The PCR product and pSAK277 vector were digested with a restriction enzyme, and then joined together using ligases (NEB, Beijing). Arabidopsis transformation was performed according to the floral dip method [44 (link)]. For transgenic plant selection, T0 seeds were sterilized and germinated on Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium containing 12 μg mL− 1 kanamycin. Kanamycin-resistant plants were transplanted to soil and placed in a growth chamber at 25 °C and 6580% relative humidity. Phenotype analysis was conducted in the T3 generation.
Tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) was transformed using the leaf-disc method [45 (link)]. More than five transgenic plants were selected using Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium containing 50 μg mL− 1 kanamycin and were confirmed by PCR using specific primers for the PpGA2ox6 gene.

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.
