Description	Bimolecular fluorescence complementation (BiFC) is a powerful tool for studying protein-protein interactions in living cells. By fusing interacting proteins to fluorescent protein fragments, BiFC allows visualization of spatial localization patterns of protein complexes. This method has been adapted to a variety of expression systems in different organisms and is widely used to study protein interactions in plant cells. The Agrobacterium-mediated transient expression protocol for BiFC assays in Nicotiana benthamiana (N. benthamiana) leaf cells is widely used, but in this chapter, a method for BiFC assay using Arabidopsis thaliana protoplasts is presented.
