Comparison of cell penetration efficiency by 15 CPPs into different plant species. Based on the results from BY-2 cells, five high efficiency CPPs (peptide No. 5, 17, 49, 52, and 55), five medium efficiency CPPs (peptide No. 1, 26, 27, 37, and 40), and five low efficiency CPPs (peptide No. 11, 14, 15, 34, and 50) were selected. In addition to BY-2 cells, leaves of N. benthamiana, A. thaliana, Moneymaker tomato, poplar, and rice were used. (a) Cell penetration efficiency of 15 CPPs. All data are expressed as the means ± S.D. from triplicate tests; the mean data labeled with different letters (x, y, and z) are significantly different (Tukey’s HSD test, P < 0.05). (b) CLSM images of six plant species treated with a TAMRA-labeled CPP (Peptide No. 27. HPV33L2-445/467). The CLSM images are overlay of TAMRA fluorescence signal (red) and DIC.
