Figure 4

Illustration of cowpea composite plants early and approximately two week after initiation of transgenic roots. A. Light microscopic picture of early root initials following transformation of cowpea by A. rhizogenes containing pCambia1300-Gmubi3. B. Light microscopic picture of roots on cowpea approximately two weeks after transformation with A. rhizogenes containing pCambia1300-Gmubi3. C. Fluorescence microscopic picture corresponding to Panel A of early root initials following A. rhizogenes transformation of cowpea with pCambia1300-Gmubi3. D. Fluorescence microscopic picture corresponding to Panel B of roots on cowpea approximately two weeks after A. rhizogenes transformation of cowpea with pCambia1300-Gmubi3. In Panels B and D the gray arrows indicate non-transgenic roots and the red arrows indicate transgenic roots as judged by the absence or presence of GFP fluorescence, respectively.
