That antibody, denoted anti-Gel II, and an antibody against AS from Serratia marcescens did not inhibit AS activity of carrot.

The approach using heterologous probes was not adequate for the isolation of the AS gene of plants due to the low homology of amino acids and nucleic acids sequences of the AS gene.","Attempts were made to isolate the Blue fluorescent gene (Bf1) which could be the AS gene by transposon tagging.The cosegregation of the restriction fragment with the mutant phenotype was followed with the Orf1 fragment of the En element as probe.
