Prepare liquid culture (3 mL LB + 3 μL antibiotic) 1:1000. Incubate at 37^C overnight.

  • Experiment with snails:
    • Two experiments: one with infiltrated Nicotiana benthamiana and another with not infiltrated N.benthamiana (negative control). Lettuce leafs haven’t been correctly infiltrated and it seems that the expression level is low.
    • Let both N. benthamiana leafs with snails overnight at room temperature in separated boxes. We will observe if snails eat the leafs and if appears fluorescence.


15Jun

Experiment is over due to snails haven’t eaten leafs enough so we have not been able to see fluorescence.
