The cDNAs of ASKθ, BES1, BZR1 and BEH2 were cloned into the binary plant expression vector, pGWR8, under the control of the 35S promoter. pGWR8, a derivative of pGreenII (Hellens et al., 2000 (link)), carries the translational leader of the tobacco etch virus for efficient translation. cDNAs were tagged with the Myc epitope or YFP. The constructs were transformed into Agrobacterium tumefaciensGV3101/pSoup by electroporation (Hellens et al., 2000 (link)). Transgenic A. thaliana Col-0 lines were generated by the floral-dip method (Clough and Bent, 1998 (link)), and were then selected on kanamycin-containing medium (50 μg ml−1).
