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.

Miniprep with E.Z.N.A ®.® Plasmid Mini Kit I, Q(capless) Spin of:
35s: TFL PCR : Luc : Tnos
	35s : Ga20ox PCR : Luc : Tnos



Digestion of minipreps with EcoRI following digestion protocol. Incubate 1 hour at 37°.

Run electrophoresis gel of the digestion products. We will discard this culture because the gel result doesn’t correspond with what we expect.

Agroinfiltration procedure with 9 plants of N.benthamiana following the Agroinfiltration protocol.

Pick up the samples of infiltrated plants. We keep 3 disks per plant in a Eppendorf tube and we take 2 samples of each plant.

Luciferase assay is made following the correct protocol. After analyzing all the data obtained, it seems that the system works but we must optimized it to increase the signal range. In this way, we will be able to distinguish signal from noise.

Conclusions luciferase assay:
Eliminate 5’ region of the device
	Change linker sequence
	Add renilla in luciferase assay
	Change reporter to +1
	Use pLess as control
	Use a Wild Type as control
	Insert devices in cis
	Design a consensus target as longer as the amplified.

Run electrophoresis gel of: 35s: 5’ region: TFL/Ga20oxPCR: Luc: Tnos – 35s: Renilla: Tnos. We keep the Miniprep number 1.

Refresh the cultures of TFL PCR (pUPD2) and Ga20oxPCR (pUPD2) because we suspect that these cultures are the correct ones but we are not sure so we want to check them. The cultures that we use to refresh were made on 12/07/2016. It is important to remember that we need them to assemble the gTS with the new linkers.
