Arabidopsis ADK gene family and subcellular localization of the At2g37250 protein. A, Dendrogram of Arabidopsis sequences homologs to plant ADKs including the plastidial potato Adk (plast-ADK-S.t., accession no. AF411937). Alignments were produced using MULTALIN software. B, Subsection i, GFP fusion construct used for particle bombardment experiments. Detached young leaves of Arabidopsis were transiently transformed with this construct, and after 2 d in darkness the leaves were examined by confocal laser scanning microscopy. Subsection ii, Confocal fluorescence image of a mesophyll cell when excited at 488 nm. Subsection iii, Chlorophyll autofluorescence of the same cells above 520 nm.
