pex1-1 slightly improves pex6-1 and pex6-3 GFP-PTS1 import and improves oil body utilization in pex6 mutants but does not improve oil body utilization in pex26-1. Confocal images of cotyledon epidermal cells (A) and hypocotyl cells (B) of 5-d-old seedlings carrying 35S:GFP-PTS1 (green) stained with Nile red (magenta). Emissions were collected at 490–519 nm for GFP and 587–643 nm for Nile red. Seedlings were screened for germination 2 d after plating, and individuals that had germinated by day 2 were imaged on day 5. (Scale bar: 20 μm.)
