Table I. Quantification of BRI1 and SERK3 colocalization after immunolabeling.

Comparative colocalization analysis is shown for immunolabeled BRI1-GFP and SERK3-HA in roots of 5-d-old Arabidopsis seedlings coexpressing BRI-GFP1 and SERK3-HA. BRZ (5 µm) was added to the growth medium 3 d after germination. BL (1 µm) and BFA (50 µm) were applied for 1 h. BRI1-GFP was visualized using rabbit anti-YFP/goat anti-rabbit-Alexa488 antibodies, and SERK3-HA was labeled using mouse anti-HA/goat anti-mouse-Alexa568 antibodies. Colocalizing fractions are presented as modified Manders colocalization coefficients ± se. Additionally, Pearson correlation coefficients ± se are given as independent measure for colocalization. N represents the number of regions of interest analyzed.
