Figure Lengend Snippet: Protein interactions between UvBhlh6 and other bHLH transcription factors. (a) Yeast two‐hybrid assay assessing interactions between UvBhlh6 and UvBhlh1, UvBhlh4 and UvBhlh7. Yeast cells (10 2 –10 6 cells/mL) co‐transformed with prey and bait vectors were spotted on SD/−Leu/−Trp and SD/−Ade/−His/−Leu/−Trp media. Positive control: PGADT7 (AD‐T) + pGBKT7‐53 (BD‐53); negative control: PGADT7 (AD‐T) + pGBKT7‐Lam (BD‐Lam). (b) Bimolecular fluorescence complementation assay detecting interactions between UvBhlh6 and UvBhlh1, UvBhlh4 or UvBhlh7. YFP signals and DAPI staining were visualised using an LSM710 confocal microscope (Zeiss). Scale bar, 10 μm.
Article Snippet: Protein–protein interactions were analysed using the Matchmaker Gold Yeast Two‐Hybrid System (Clontech).
