Figure 6

Representative microscopy images showing a comparison of fluorescence of T 2 Arabidopsis (A,D-G) and T1 tobacco (B, C, H-K) tissue expressing DsRed2, DsRed2-ER, tdTomato, tdTomato-ER, pporRFP, pporRFPmut-ER, mOrange, mOrange-ER or non-transgenic controls. Transgenic line designations precede species and OFP identities. Images were taken using an epifluorescence microscope. Fluorescent pictures were taken with tdTomato filter set (ex: 535/30 nm, em: 600/50 nm) for all constructs except mOrange, which utilized a mOrange filter set (ex: 535/30 nm, em:585/40 nm). Inset pictures and H and J were taken using white light. (A) A37-16-23 potted Arabidopsis expressing tdTomato-ER (20 s exp), white light inset 5.5 ms exp. (B) Various tobacco line seedlings in potting media expressing pporRFP (2 min exp). (C) Tobacco buds expressing (left to right) non-transgenic, T21-12-16 mOrange, T37-15-2 mOrange-ER (20 s exp), white light inset 1.6 ms exp. (D) Arabidopsis roots expressing (left to right) non-transgenic, A17-2-25 pporRFP, A37-14-13 pporRFPmut-ER, A21-13-29 tdTomato, A37-16-23 tdTomato-ER, A39-2-17 DsRed, A37-19-33 DsRed-ER (40 s exp), white light inset 16 ms exp. The root furthest to the right (7th) is not clearly shown in the inset. (E) Arabidopsis roots expressing (left to right) non-transgenic, A21-12-9 mOrange, A37-15-56 mOrange-ER (40 s exp), white light inset 16 ms exp. (F) Arabidopsis floral buds expressing (clockwise, starting at 12:00) DsRed, tdTomato, pporRFP, non-transgenic (20 s exp), white light inset 4 ms exp. (G) Arabidopsis flowers expressing (left to right) non-transgenic, mOrange, mOrange-ER (20 s exp), white light inset 2.5 ms exp. (H,I) Tobacco leaves clockwise from the top: non-transgenic, T17-2-4 pporRFP, T39-2-1 DsRed, T21-13-8 tdTomato (30 s exp), white light inset 3 ms exp. (J,K) Tobacco leaves clockwise from the top: non-transgenic, T37-19-1 DsRed-ER and T37-16-9 tdTomato-ER), white light inset 3 ms exp.
