legend Green fluorescent protein (GFP) under the control of the 35S promoter is expressed in the phloem cells. The chloroplasts of the mesophyll cells appear in red, whereas the lignified cells of the epidermis and xylem vessels appear in light blue. Transverse shoot sections were viewed under blue-UV light using a Leica-DMR microscope with an epiflourescence filter A. Scale bar, 100 μm.
