Abstract
We will measure the levels of specific mRNAs in phloem sap. This will be achieved by obtaining sieve tub sap by aphid stylectomy, reverse transcription to produce cDNA and amplification by PCR using sequence-specific primers. mRNA species will be selected on the basis of their proposed role in regulating sieve element content. Successful completion of the project will link cellular physiology with molecular approaches with considerable opportunity for exploitation in both pure and applied research.
