PCR primers

Use the following PCR primer to confirm the presence of a desired T-DNA insertion in a line:

        p745:   5'-AACGTCCGCAATGTGTTATTAAGTTGTC-3'

The primer p745 hybridizes to the T-DNA Left Border region of pDs-Lox.

The T-DNA Left Border sequence from pDS-Lox is shown below with the p745 primer sequence highlighted in RED:

The T-DNA/Plant DNA junction typically occurs in the region highlighted in BLUE. 

The Arabidopsis genomic DNA that flanks a T-DNA insertion site will be found on the 3' side of the blue region shown above.
