Question

The DNA that will be used in your experiments includes a coding sequence for the starch synthase enzyme that has been fused recombinantly to the coding sequence for green fluorescent protein. When expressed in plant cells, the resulting fusion protein (specifically, a GFP-tagged starch synthase enzyme) may be visualized directly with a fluorescence microscope. Based on your knowledge of where in the cell starch synthesis occurs, shade the figure below to indicate the expected location of GFP fluorescence in the cel1. 9. o0 0 0

Explanation / Answer

Amyloplast is the organelle found in the plant cells that is responsible for synthesis and storage of the starch.

The control for the validation of this experiment can be constructed by adding a coding sequence for the protein specific to amyloplast. In this condition the gene will only be expressed in the specific organelle that is responsible for the synthesis of starch.
