Used in plant physiology and molecular biology research to quantify benzoate 2-hydroxylase enzyme levels, this ELISA kit enables scientists to study the metabolic pathways involved in the degradation of aromatic compounds in plants. It is particularly useful in investigating plant defense mechanisms and responses to environmental stressors, such as pathogen attack or exposure to pollutants. Researchers also apply this kit in studies related to plant-microbe interactions, where benzoate metabolism plays a role in rhizosphere dynamics. The assay supports high-throughput analysis, making it valuable for screening plant varieties with enhanced metabolic traits or improved phytoremediation potential.
