Figure 4. Dual-color reporter visualization of root structure and gene expression.

Images of whole-root systems (A, D) or magnified portion of roots (C, F) at 22 DAS expressing ProACT2:PPYRE8o and ProZAT12:LUC (green, A, B, C) or ProDR5rev:LUC+ (green, D, E, F). Luminescence from PPyRE8 and LUC reporters visualized together using an open filter setting (visualized in grey-scale) while LUC signal is distinguished using a band-pass filter (517 to 567 nm, visualized as green).

Figure 4—figure supplement 2. ProDR5rev:LUC+, ProUBQ10:LUC2o, and ProZAT12:LUC intensity values along the root tip.

Figure 4—figure supplement 2.

Data were manually obtained by measuring the intensity profile of the first 0.5 cm from the root tip of individual lateral roots. 10 lateral roots for each reporter were measured.

(A) Image showing a 22 DAS ProUBQ10:LUC2o plant (magenta) grown in the same rhizotron with ProACT2:PpyRE8o plants (gray). Plants were inoculated with Pseudomonas fluorescens CH267 (green). Magnified portion of root systems colonized by P. fluorescens showing P. fluorescences (B) only or all three reporters together (C).
