Used to measure pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH) enzyme activity in plant tissues, this ELISA kit enables researchers to assess mitochondrial function and energy metabolism in plants. It is commonly applied in plant physiology studies to evaluate stress responses, such as those caused by drought, temperature extremes, or nutrient deficiency, since PDH activity is linked to metabolic shifts under stress. The kit supports quantitative analysis in crop science and plant biotechnology, helping to develop improved plant varieties with enhanced metabolic efficiency or stress tolerance. It is also useful in photosynthesis and respiration research, providing insight into carbon metabolism regulation in different plant species.
