Quantification of nanocluster density and size of BRI1-GFP and SERK3/BAK1-mCherry of 5 day old Arabidopsis seedlings showing the average number of nanoclusters per μm2 and average cluster size in μm2 upon different treatments using VAEM. 5 μM BRZ was added to growth media for 3 days prior to ligand application. Ligand application was accomplished by incubation of seedlings with 1 μM BL for 1h. All experiments were performed twice; three images were collected for three seedlings per experiment (n = 9). Numbers are given with their respective pooled standard error of the mean (SEM).
