Used in plant biology research to quantify glycine decarboxylase enzyme levels in plant tissues. This ELISA kit enables researchers to study photorespiration efficiency, particularly in C3 plants under varying environmental conditions such as high temperature, drought, or elevated CO2. It supports investigations into plant metabolic responses, stress tolerance, and crop yield optimization. Commonly applied in studies of rice, wheat, and Arabidopsis to assess mitochondrial function and one-carbon metabolism. Also useful in genetic studies to evaluate GDC expression in mutants or transgenic plants.
