GUS reporter for plant expression
The GUS gene is a commonly used reporter gene. Its expression product beta-glucuronidase is a hydrolase that can catalyze the hydrolysis of many β-glucoside esters. It can decompose X-Gluc into blue substances, to observe the expression of foreign genes in transgenic plants and identify transgenic plants.

(1) GUS detection for the transgenic plants
The GUS gene, is a commonly used reporter gene harboured in pCAMBIA1301s. Its expression product β-glucuronidase is a hydrolase that can catalyze the hydrolysis of many β-glucoside esters. It can decompose X-Gluc into blue substances, to observe the expression of foreign genes in transgenic plants and identify transgenic plants.After the regenerated seedlings grew leaves, GUS staining was performed on these transgenic plants. Two successfully transformed sweet potato lines were preliminarily screened and designated as 23216004 and 23216005, whose leaves turned green (Fig. 1).
