Abstract:
The permeability of cell membrane was enhanced by exogenous SA in the culture of Taxus cuspidata. Nuclei condense and fragments were observed in some cells by using fluorescent microscope, and the degraded chromosomal DNA was observed by using agarose gel electrophoresis. The changes in soluble proteins of the suspension cultures of Taxus cuspidata induced by salicylic acids were analyzed by using two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Comparing with the control, seven new protein spots were found and six protein spots were not found in the cultures grown with SA at 48h. The results obtained showed that SA could induce the expression of some special proteins that might be related with the action of SA in the suspension cultures of Taxus cuspidata.

Two-dimensional Gel Electrophoresis
The first dimension separation uses the isoelectric focusing or IEF technique performed on immobilized pH gradient (IPG) strips that separate proteins according to their isoelectric points.

SDS-PAGE
A variation of gel electrophoresis, termed polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE), is commonly used for separating proteins according to their molecular size by passing them through a polyacrylamide gel. Because of the varying charges associated with amino acid side chains, PAGE can be used to separate intact proteins...
DNA Agarose Gel Electrophoresis
Gel extraction follows five major steps: running gel electrophoresis to separate fragments, isolating the individual bands, extracting DNA from those bands, and removing the dye and salts from the extracted mixture to obtain pure DNA.
