Week 12 (07/16 - 07/22/12)

Monday July 16th

• Team A. thaliana laccase: Our plants had a great time during the last weeks in the climate chamber. So today it was time for them to donate their seeds for RNA isolation, cDNA synthesis and a PCR (check protocols). We ran an additional sample with actin primers as a positive control. However both samples did not show any bands. Maybe the high salt concentration in our sample was responsible or the laccase concentration in the 1:10 deluted cDNA was too low. We will do some washing and try again.
