    Commonly used reportar gene that utilises histochemical assay in plant expression vector is

    A)  TAG               

    B)  CAT                

    C)  TAG               

    D)  GAT

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Gene Name Gene Product Assay
    Lac 2 \[\beta -galactosidase\] Enzyme assay
    Ca+ Chloramphenicol acetyl transferees Chloramphenicol resistant
    Neo Neomycin phosphotransferase G418 resistant
    Gtp Green fluorescent protein Fluorescent
