Functionality of ReMAX, Eix2, and Chimeric Forms of These RLPs in N. benthamiana.

(A) Schematic representation of ReMAX, Eix2, and the chimeric forms with reciprocal swaps of the C-terminal domains.

(B) and (C) Ethylene response of N. benthamiana transformed with the different constructs after treatment with Pen (90 μg/mL) as positive control, eMax (2 μg/mL), or xylanase (2 μg/mL) for 4 h. The bars show means and sd of three replicates. Asterisks mark significant induction over control based on a Student’s t test, P value < 0.05.
