GmHMGR4 and GmHMGR6 cDNA sequences were cloned into a pC1300s vector with the CaMV 35S promoter and eGFP (enhanced green fluorescent protein). The pC1300S-35S:GmHMGR4-GFP and pC1300S-E.R-mCherry-HDEL (plant endoplasmic reticulum markers) were transfected into A. thaliana mesophyll protoplasts, pC1300S-35S:GmHMGR6-GFP and pC1300S-E.R-mCherry-HDEL also go through the same transfection. On the second day following transfection, confocal laser scanning microscopy (OLYMPUS FV 1200) was used to detect the fluorescence from fusion proteins and organelle markers.
