Validation of sgRNA targeting of pAPX2 in a transient transactivation assay in N. benthamiana. LUC-based assay to validate targeting efficiency of sgRNA cassettes to APX2600bp promoter fragment. Luciferin-infiltrated N. benthamiana leaf 3 d after co-infiltration with pAPX2600bp::LUC and p2x35S::3xFlag-dCas9-VP64 in combination with sgRNA cassette a (a), cassette b (b), or scrambled cassette (c), or without any cassette (–). High LUC activity in presence of cassette a indicates binding of 3xFlag-dCas9–VP64 to pAPX2600bp and transactivation of LUC expression by transcriptional activator VP64. The image is representative of three independent experiments.
