Transient overexpression of TaDIR1-2 in tobacco (Nicotiana benthamiana). (A) Tobacco leaves were infiltrated with Agrobacterium tumefaciens cells carrying empty vector (EV), Avr1b, (TaDIR1-2+pBin19) or eGFP alone (circles 1-4), or followed 16 h later with a 2nd infiltration of (A). Tumefaciens cells carrying Bax (circles 5-8). Photos were taken 4 days after the 2nd infiltration. (B) The same leaves collected at the same time (4 days after 2nd infiltration) and submerged for 7 days in 100% ethanol when photos were taken. Circles: 1, empty vector (EV); 2, Avr1b; 3, (TaDIR1-2+pBin19); 4, eGFP; 5, empty vector (EV)+Bax; 6, Avr1b+Bax; 7, (TaDIR1-2+pBin19)+Bax; 8, eGFP+Bax. Circles indicate infiltrated areas; same position represents same sample.
