Figure 10.5.AgroinfiltratedNicotiana benthamianaplants showing high levels of GFP expression.
The aerial parts of the tobacco plant were submerged in anAgrobacteriumsuspension, and the plant
was then placed under vacuum for infiltration. (Image provided by John Lindbo, Department of Plant

tissues. This target tissue is flat, nonpigmented, and ideally suited for tracking GFP expression in indi-
vidual transiently transformed cells.
