Suppression of Ion Leakage from Detached Leaves of Transgenic Arabidopsis Expressing Both Bax and AtBI-1.

(A) Three-week-old Bax and Bax+AtBI-GFP1 transgenic plants were used in the experiments. Detached leaves were incubated with (+) or without (−) 5 μM DEX in distilled water at 23°C for 4 days, and photographs were taken.

(B) Detached leaves from transgenic plants containing pTA7002 (vector control; pTA), pTA-Bax (Bax), Bin-AtBI-GFP (AtBI-GFP), or both pTA-Bax and Bin-AtBI-GFP (Bax+AtBI-GFP1 to Bax+AtBI-GFP3) were incubated with 5 μM DEX in distilled water at 23°C. Bax+AtBI-GFP1 to Bax+AtBI-GFP3 are independent lines. The electrical conductivity of the solution was measured with a conductivity meter and is indicated as a relative value. n = 5.
