Figure. S5 Total chloroplast (TC) were isolated from wild type (WT) and pVSB2 (2.5). The transplastomic pVSB2 (2.5) chloroplasts were lysed and separated into total membranes (TM) and stroma (S). 10µg of protein were resolved by SDS-PAGE, transferred to nitrocellulose, and immunoblotted with antisera to the proteins as indicated. PGL40 (plastoglobule marker), RLSU (stroma marker) and Lhcb2 (thylakoid marker).
