Maize Mesophyll Protoplasts Coexpressing mCFP:ZmSYP121-Sp2 and mYFP:ZmPIP2;5 Phenocopies the Lower Plasma Membrane Water Permeability (Pf) of Arabidopsis syp121-1 Mesophyll Protoplasts.
(A) Relative distribution of Pf values of maize mesophyll protoplasts untransfected or (co)expressing mYFP:ZmPIP2;5, mYFP:ZmPIP2;5 and mCFP:ZmSYP121, mYFP:ZmPIP2;5 and mCFP:SYP121-Sp2, or mCFP:ZmSYP121.
(B) Median Pf values for each protoplast subpopulation shown in (A).
(C) Relative distribution of Pf values of mesophyll protoplasts from wild-type (WT) and syp121 Arabidopsis plants.
(D) Median Pf values for both Arabidopsis protoplast subpopulations.
Each bar represents the mean of 20 measurements. Error bars show 95% confidence interval. Statistical differences were inferred by the Kruskall-Wallis test followed by a Dunns test or Mann-Whitney U test. Medians that are significantly different (P < 0.05) are shown with different letters.
