FIE protein accumulates in all Arabidopsis tissues and organs. (A) Detection of endogenous FIE protein in Arabidopsis tissues. A similar amount of nuclear chromatin protein extracts from rosette, stems, cauline, and inflorescence of 20-day-old wild-type plants and siliques from 6–10 days after pollination (DAP) were separated by SDS-PAGE and then immunodetected using αFIE antibodies. Protein size marker is indicated on the left. Ponceau staining was used to assess equal sample loading. (B) A scheme of the ProFIE:FIEgDNA-GFP transgene construct (not drawn to scale). Red boxes represent exons. (C) gFIE-GFP chimeric protein from line no. TH142-1 is observed in reproductive and vegetative tissues and organs. Each image was taken from a single focal plane, unless otherwise indicated. Each panel shows a merge of GFP epifluorescence (green) and the corresponding chloroplast autofluorescence (red) and/or a bright-field image.
