DEK55 interacts with ZmMORF1 and ZmMORF8 in yeast. a Phylogenetic tree of known AtMORFs in Arabidopsis and putative ZmMORFs in maize. b Yeast two-hybrid assay of the interaction between DEK55 and ZmMORFs. Yeast cells diluted to different concentrations (1, 5^− 1, 5^− 2, 5^− 3, 5^− 4) were cultured in SD/−Trp-Leu dropout and SD/−Trp-Leu-His-Ade plates supplemented with X-α-gal dropout media at 30 °C, and the results were recorded after 3 days of culture. The images in (b) were cropped; the original gel images are shown in Additional file 1: Fig. S5
