A Targeting mechanism of SENDS. Created in BioRender. Lew, T.T.S. (2025) https://BioRender.com/wluiw9q. B Colocalization percentage of SENDS on A. thaliana, V. faba and B. chinensis based on CLSM micrographs. Data are presented as mean ± SD (n = 5 technical replicates). Statistical differences were calculated using two-sample t-test (two-sided). ****P < 0.0001. Exact p-values are reported in the source data. C CLSM (scale bar, 20 μm) and SEM micrographs (scale bar, 10 μm) showing the localization of ZIF-8 and SENDS on the leaf epidermis of A. thaliana. CLSM inset: magnified view of stomata and SENDS localization pattern. D, E SEM micrographs showing localization of plain ZIF-8 and SENDS (blue) on the leaf epidermis (green) of V. faba and B. chinensis. Scale bar, 10 μm. Relevant source data provided as a source data file.
