Time course of cell death and GABA-modulatory enzyme activity. The cultured cells from rice (O. sativa L. cv. Nipponbare) were treated with M. grisea elicitor (race 003). (A) Evans blue uptake, (B) GABA accumulation and (C) GABA-TP activity were compared between rice cultured cells treated with phosphate buffer (open symbols) and elicitor (filled symbols). Values in (A and C) are means ± SD from three independent experiments. Values in (B) are means ± SD from three independent experiments. Enzyme activities are expressed as shown in Figure 4.
