Three plantlets were sampled at weekly intervals, and total proteins in the bag were quantified by the Bradford method. The CryIAb protein was quantified using a commercial ELISA kit (EnviroLogix) for CryIA(b). Proper dilution of the exudated protein were prepared so that the CryIA protein fit into the calibration curve values (y = 3.2221x + 0.0015, R2 = 0.9998). (*)mean ± SD. |
