Southern blotting analysis was carried out as described (Cheng et al., 2015 (link)). Briefly, 20 μg Arabidopsis genomic DNA was digested with EcoRI. The DNA was resolved on a 0.8% agarose gel and transferred onto an Amersham HybondTM-N+ nylon membrane (GE Healthcare, USA); the blot was cross-linked under 0.12 J/cm2 UV irradiation. Then the blot was hybridized at 42°C with Digoxigenin-labeled probe for 12 h. After two stringent washes at 68°C, the signal was detected using DIG Nucleic Acid Detection Kit (Roche, USA).
