Fig. 3From: Improving agroinfiltration-based transient gene expression in Nicotiana benthamianaEffects of chemical additives on transient GUS expression. Agrobacteria strain AGL1 harbouring pEAQ‐GSN were infiltrated in MMA media containing different concentrations of chemical additives, a Lipoic acid, b ascorbic acid, c acetosyringone, d Pluronic F‐68, and e PVP, into N. benthamiana leaves. Leaves were sampled 4 dpi and TSP extracted for GUS fluorometric enzyme assays. Columns represent relative levels of mean GUS enzyme activities and bars represent ± SE.
