Abstract
Phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL), the first enzyme in the phenylpropanoid pathway, acts a key control point in this complex pathway and is known to consist of a gene family. The goal of this study was to isolate members of the PAL gene family using gene specific primers. But before this could be accomplished, controls had to be prepared using previously made primers and known PAL gene family members. The plasmid control, at approximately 500 base pairs, has been created and the genomic DNA control is still in the process of being worked out. Once the genomic DNA control has been finalized, gene specific primers will be ready to be used on genomic DNA.
