Table shows constructs made and their functionality by expression analysis in N. benthamiana and in transgenic Arabidopsis plants. Protein extracts from transiently transformed tobacco leaves or from Arabidopsis homozygous lines were analysed by western blotting using the appropriate antibodies. Yes, expressed. No, not expressed. NT, not tested. pH, pH2GW7. pK, pK2GW7. pB, pB2GW7. pM, pMDC7.
