Accelerated decrease of the fresh weight in eto1-1 and wild-type plants exposed to ethylene gas. A, Changes in fresh weight decrease ratio of aerial parts of wild type (white circles), wild-type plants exposed to ethylene gas (black squares), and eto1-1 plants (black circles) after detachment from roots. B, The rate of the fresh weight decrease calculated every 5 min after detachment from roots. Wild type (white bars), wild-type plants exposed to ethylene gas (black bars), and eto1-1 plants (gray bars) are shown. Fresh weights of the aerial parts after detachment were measured, and the ratios of reduced weights and original fresh weights were then calculated. The data are representative of three independent experiments, and the means of 20 individual plants are shown. Error bars represent ses.
