Salt tolerance and lysis-induced PLD activity in LePLDα1-silenced tomato plants. (a) Tomato seeds from wild-type and LePLDα1-silenced plant lines were sown on agar plates and grown vertically in a growth chamber. After 1 week, seedlings were transferred to fresh plates supplemented with 0, 125 or 250 mM NaCl, rotated 180° and placed back in the growth chamber. Plates were scanned after 24 h. A representative silenced line is shown (line #3). (b) Leaf discs were excised from fully expanded leaves from wild-type and LePLDα1-silenced (line #13) tomato plants as well as wild-type and pldα1 knock-out Arabidopsis plants, and labeled overnight with 32Pi. Leaf discs were either left untreated or snap-frozen and thawed for 15 min. Lipids were extracted, separated by TLC and analyzed by phosphoimaging. PA was quantified as a percentage of total phospholipids and is presented in histograms ± SD (n = 3).
