Figure 7. P35S:NF-YA lines display an increased sensitivity to sucrose and ABA.

Figure 7

(A) Images of twelve-day-old P35S:NF-YA, P35Smir169nm and WT, seedlings grown on 0.1× MS control media and on media supplemented with 9.4% sucrose or 1 µM ABA under standard light/dark conditions (16/8). A schematic representation of the distribution of the different lines on the plate is shown. (B) Phenotype of 14-day-old WT, P35S:NF-YA and P35Smir169nm seedlings grown in plates with medium supplemented with 9.4% sucrose and grown in vertical position in a growth chamber. Bar = 10 mm. (C) Relative biomass of wild-type and overexpressing plants grown on media supplemented with 9.4% sucrose (Suc) or 1 µM ABA (ABA) for twelve days. Total biomass was recorded and used to calculate the relative biomass (expressed as a percent of the value for the same line growing on control medium, set to 100%). Values are means and SD of three biological replicates statistically treated using a student t-test (*P<0.05, **P<0.01, ***P<0.001).
