Transactivation activity of ZmDOF36 in N. benthamiana leaves (A) Schematic diagrams of the effector and reporter constructs. (B) Histochemical analysis of GUS expression in N. benthamiana leaves. Fully expanded leaves from 8-week-old seedlings were agroinfiltrated with the indicated reporter and effector plasmids at an OD₆₀₀ of 0.6. (C) GUS fluorescence quantitative analysis of N. benthamiana leaves from (B). Values are reported as means ± SD of three replicate analyses. ^∗∗Significant differences between WT and transgenic plants at P < 0.01. Scale bar = 10 mm.
