Fig. 1. ATML1 promoter activity in wild-type and mutant embryos.
(A, B) ATML1 promoter-GFP reporter fusion constructs
pATML1::NLS:3xEGFP (A) and pATML1::CYCB1-N:NLS:3xEGFP (B).
NLS, SV40 nuclear localization signal sequence; GFP,
enhanced green fluorescence protein sequence; nost, nopaline synthase
terminator; CYCB1-N, a sequence encoding an N-terminal fragment of
CYCLINB1;2, including the destruction box. (C-H)
pATML1::NLS:3xEGFP expression in wild-type embryos at successively
older stages: (C) one-cell; (D) 16-cell; (E) 32-cell; (F) mid-heart
(arrowheads indicate quiescent center cells lacking GFP signal); (G) torpedo;
(H) bent-cotyledon. (I,J) pATML1::CYCB1-N:NLS:3xEGFP
expression in wild-type embryos at different stages: (I) two-cell (arrowhead
indicates GFP expression in nucleus of suspensor cell), and (J)
16-cell (compare with D). (K-N) pATML1::NLS:3xEGFP expression
in mutant embryos: (K) ball-shaped gn; (L) heart-stage mp;
(M) basal peg of mp; (N) atml1;pdf2. Green, GFP signals;
red, chlorophyll autofluorescence. Scale bars: 10 µm in C-G,I-N; 50 µm
in H.
