NCED3-RUBY(BBa_K4752007)

The NCED3 promoter(BBa_K4752003) is a specialized regulatory region in the plant genome that becomes active under drought conditions. When a plant experiences drought stress, the NCED3 promoter becomes activated, initiating a cascade of molecular events. This activation, in turn, triggers the expression of the RUBY reporter system.

RUBY(BBa_K4752005) serves as a reporter system, generating a visible and distinctive red coloration in the plant's leaves when activated by the NCED3 promoter. The change in leaf coloration is a clear visual indicator, making it easy to identify plants undergoing drought stress. This feature is valuable for monitoring and studying the plant's response to drought conditions, aiding researchers and farmers in assessing and managing plant health.

GLR2.9-Bx(BBa_K4752008)

The GLR2.9 promoter(BBa_K4752004) is a specific regulatory region within the plant genome that becomes active in response to attacks by pests and diseases. When plants are threatened by pests or diseases, the GLR2.9 promoter is triggered into activation, initiating a biological response. This activation leads to the expression of the Bx reporter system.

Bx (BBa_K4752006) functions as a reporter system, manifesting a noticeable yellow coloration in the leaves of the plant when activated by the GLR2.9 promoter. The change in leaf color serves as a visible signal, allowing for easy identification of plants facing pest or disease stress. This feature is highly valuable for monitoring and researching plant responses to such stresses, aiding in the understanding and management of plant health.
