Upper panel: Parasites stably expressing the apicoplast targeted ACPl-GFP transgene were analyzed by fluorescence microscopy at trophozoite (T), early schizont (ES), and late schizont (LS) stages. The apicoplast appears green; nuclei are stained blue with DAPI.
Lower panel: Dually transfected parasites expressing the mitochondrion-targeted CSl-YFP transgene and the apicoplast-targeted ACPl-DsRed transgene were analyzed by fluorescence microscopy at trophozoite (T), early schizont (ES), and late schizont (LS) stages are shown. The mitochondrion appears green, and the apicoplast appears red,
