During the assembly of Supplemental Figure 7 and Figure 8, six luciferase images of individual leaves were inadvertently duplicated. These images served to illustrate the strength of interactions between FT and TFL1 proteins and their mutant variants with GRF and TCP proteins, as measured qualitatively in split luciferase assays and in support of independent, quantitative yeast-two-hybrid experiments.

This Dryad data set includes the original photographs of bimolecular luciferase complementation assays after Agrobacterium tumefaciens mediated transient transformation of N. benthamiana leaves. The associated key links the constructs tested for bimolecular luciferase complementation with the photographs.

Methods

Bimolecular Luciferase Complementation Assays

Nicotiana benthamiana was transiently transformed as described (Voinnet et al., 2003), and samples were analyzed 4 days after inoculation (Gou et al., 2011). Before measurement, leaves only infiltrated with luciferin (negative control) and leaves infiltrated with a 35S:LUC construct and luciferin (positive control) were used for calibrating the Orca 2-BT cooled CCD camera (Hamamatsu Photonics, Hamamatsu, Japan).
