There are about fifty reporter genes that have proved useful in transgenic plant research, based on their efficiency, scientific applications and commercialization. Reporter genes serve as indicators to study transgenic events, for example by facilitating visual identification of successfully transformed entities in a large background of non-transformed material.
The cytosolic sulfotransferase (SULTs) family catalyzes the transfer of a sulfate group from the universal 3′-phosphoadenosine 5′-phosphosulfate (PAPS) donor to a wide variety of acceptor molecules bearing a hydroxyl or an amine group [1], [2], [3]. Sulfonation results in inactivation of the majority of acceptors, including neurotransmitters, steroid hormones and drugs, thus modulating their biological activity and rendering the product more soluble and readily excretable.
