Used in plant biology research to quantify levels of phytoene desaturase (PDS) enzyme, which plays a key role in carotenoid biosynthesis. The kit enables researchers to monitor PDS expression under various environmental stresses such as light exposure, temperature changes, and oxidative stress. It is widely applied in studies focused on improving crop nutritional quality, particularly in enhancing lycopene and other carotenoid accumulation in fruits and vegetables. Also used in genetic modification research to assess the efficiency of gene editing or silencing techniques targeting the carotenoid pathway. Suitable for high-throughput screening in agricultural biotechnology and plant physiology labs.
