Subcellular localization of DEK55 and expression pattern of DEK55. a The subcellular localization of DEK55 was determined by transient expression of DEK55-EGFP fusion proteins in maize protoplasts. The mitochondria are stained by MitoTracker (red). Scale bars = 5 μm. b Analysis of the relative expression level of DEK55 in various tissues and kernels at 5, 10, and 15 DAP. The ZmActin gene (GRMZM2G126010) was used as an internal control. The values are the means of three replicates. The error bars represent the standard deviations
