Full-length cDNAs corresponding to BDH1 and BDH2 were cloned into the vector pDONR201 and verified by sequencing. Corresponding entry clones were used in LR recombination reactions to transfer the cDNA fragments to the gateway-compatible expression vector pGWB605 [33 (link)]. The binary constructs obtained were used to transform Agrobacterium tumefaciens GV3101. Each pGWB605 construct was coexpressed in 6-week-old Nicotiana benthamiana leaves after leaf infiltration with GV3101 strains containing the tested construct plus an antisilencing agrobacterial strain expressing P19. In addition, the agrobacterial strain transformed with 35S::H2B-RFP was used to visualize the nuclei as described previously [11 (link)]. Fluorescence was analyzed 2 d after infiltration using a Nikon D-Eclipse C1 laser scanning confocal microscope.
