Sample preparation

Cutting leaf disks Grinding leaf disks (1 ml of extraction buffer

per each leaf disk)

Extraction buffer

Sodium sulfite (Na2SO3) 0.2g (0.2%)TBS 100 ml

Tris Buffer Saline (TBS), pH 7.5 (2,000 ml)

Tris base 4.84 g (0.02M)NaCl 58.44 g (0.5 M)

Dissolve in 1,990 ml distilled water and adjust pH to 7.5 with HCl (5 N). Add distilled water to 2,000 ml final volume.

Application of samples to the nitrocellulose membrane

Method 1 Spot 17 ul sap onto each square of the nitrocellulose membrane included in the kit
