Description
IC50 & Target
TIR1/AFB receptor[1]
In Vitro
Auxinole is a potent auxin antagonist of TIR1/AFB receptors, and binds TIR1 to block the formation of the TIR1-IAA-Aux/IAA complex and then inhibits auxin-responsive gene expression. In addition, Auxinole competitively inhibits various auxin responses in planta[1]. Auxinole causes reduction in IAA-triggered depolarization in root hair cells. Auxinole (20 μM) also represses the transient increase in [Ca2+]cyt completely, and blocks Ca2+ response[2].

Protocols
-
RT-PCR
Reverse transcription technology uses RNA as a template to synthesize DNA. RT-PCR is simple, specific and sensitive, and can be used to detect gene expression levels and expression differences in cells; detect RNA virus content; clone cDNA sequences of specific genes.
-
RNA extraction experimental
By lysing cells, releasing RNA, and removing impurities such as proteins and DNA, high-purity RNA products are finally obtained. The commonly used traditional method is the guanidine isothiocyanate/phenol/chloroform method (Trizol), which is suitable for a variety of animal materials including animal tissues, microorganisms, cultured cells, etc., and most plant materials.
-
Real Time qPCR (Q-PCR)
Real-time quantitative PCR (qPCR) quantifies an amplifiable nucleic-acid target by monitoring fluorescence during PCR cycling rather than measuring product only after amplification. The increase in fluorescence tracks accumulation of PCR product, and the quantification cycle (Cq; historically also Ct/CP) is related to the initial amount of target: samples containing more starting target generally reach the defined fluorescence threshold in fewer cycles.
