Abstract |
Fluorescent proteins (FPs) revolutionized the cell biology research by visualizing the dynamics of cellular events. In fusion with the targeted proteins, the FPs can be utilized to monitor the protein dynamics and localization in cells. Recently, FPs have been used as reporters for live cell imaging to study the protein localization or organelles dynamics in plants, allowing cell biologists to explore the plant cell function by obtaining tremendous details of cell structures and functions in combination with confocal imaging. To facilitate the usage of fluorescent proteins for protein localization and dynamic analysis in plant cell biology research, here we describe the updated protocol of Agrobacterium-mediated transformation of Arabidopsis thaliana using fluorescent proteins to generate the stable expression transgenic plants for protein trafficking and localization study. We further use the GFP-tagged SDP1 (sugar-dependent protein) lipase, mCherry-tagged peroxisome marker, and BODYPY or Nile Red (lipid droplet staining dye) as examples to introduce the method for the protein localization analysis in plants. |
