The role of nitric oxide (NO) in primary root development of the wild type and vtc mutants. (A) Effect of increasing concentrations of the NO donor SNP on primary root growth in 7-d-old plants grown on 1× MS medium. Data represent means ±SE of 6–12 individual seedlings per genotype and treatment. (B) NO content in the wild type and vtc1-1 in the presence of high NH4+ (1× MS) and in the absence of NH4+. Data represent means ±SE of three independent replicates. Asterisks indicate significant differences between the wild type and mutants. (C) Primary root growth in the presence of the specific NO scavenger cPTIO. Results show means ±SE of ten individual seedlings per genotype and treatment. (D) Relative NOS transcript levels in the presence and absence of NH4+. Results display means ±SE of four biological replicates of each genotype and treatment. *P <0.05, **P <0.01, ***P <0.001, Student's t test.
