Overexpression of ICMT Suppresses or Reverses the Enhanced Response of fcly-1 and fcly-2 Seeds to ABA.

Seed germination was scored for Col-0, fcly-1, fcly-2, fcly-1:ICME°^x, and fcly-2:ICME°^x lines as a function of time in the presence of 0, 0.3, 1.0, or 5.0 μM cisABA (each data point represents four independent trials, 65 < n < 101). The standard error of the mean is indicated for all data points; for most, the error bars are hidden by the symbols. * and ** represent significant differences compared with the Col-0 control of P < 0.05 and P < 0.01, respectively, as determined by student's t-test.

(A) Germination of Col and fcly-1 seeds.

(B) Germination of Col and fcly-2 seeds.

(C) Germination of Col and fcly-1:ICMT°^x seeds.

(D) Germination of Col and fcly-2:ICMT°^x seeds.
