AtTCP21 and melittin were labeled by adding Flamma® 675-NHS (BioActs, Incheon, Republic of Korea), a fluorescent dye solution, to the proteins in buffer A at a molar ratio of 1:1. After 2 h of incubation, the mixtures were dialyzed against PBS for 48 h to remove any unbound fluorescent dye. The labeled protein samples were incubated with C. gloeosporioides cells at 28 °C for 4 h. The fungal cells were washed thrice with buffer A, mounted on a cover glass in 50% glycerol and 0.1% n-propyl gallate solution, and examined under a CLSM (A1R HD 25, Nikon, Japan) [19 (link)].
