Figures & data

Figure 1. Expression of an integrated auxin-responsive reporter gene in Arabidopsis nnph4-1/arf7 protoplasts transfected with full-length or CTD truncated ARF5 and ARF7 proteins. Truncated constructs are denoted as 5D5M and 7D7M. Arabidopsis mesophyll protoplasts were isolated from nph4-1/arf7 leaves containing a stably integrated 2XD0:GUS (A) or DR5:GUS (B) reporter gene, full-length or CTD truncated ARF5 and ARF7 effector genes were transfected into protoplasts and incubated in darkness in the presence (black columns) and absence (white columns) of 1 μM 1-NAA (1-naphthalene acetic acid) for 20–22 h and then GUS activities were measured.Citation11 A 35S:CAT (chloramphenicol acetyltransferase) plasmid was used as a control for the amount of effector plasmid DNA (10 μg) introduced into protoplasts. Data represent mean ± SD of three replicates. In some case, error bars may not visible because of their small size.
