Table 2. GLS Content of Micrografted Plants with Impaired Biosynthesis in the Rosette or Roots.

GLS Biosynthesis GLS Content of Entire Plant (% of the Wild Type)
Genotype (Rosette/Roots) Rosette Roots Aliphatic GLS Indole GLS Total GLS
wt/wt + + 100 100 100
qko/qko 3.5 (±2.6)** nd 1.8 (±1.3)**
wt/qko + 28.8 (±5.1)** 20.7 (±3.8)** 23.8 (±3.5)**
qko/wt + 50.7 (±4.4)** 56.6 (±23.3)* 53.6 (±12.0)**

Plants with impaired GLS synthesis in roots or the rosette were constructed by reciprocal micrografting of the myb28 myb29 cyp79b2 cyp79b3 quadruple mutant (qko) and Col-0 wild type (wt). GLS content of the entire 3-week-old grafted plants was analyzed by LC-MS and related to levels found in the entire wild type. Numbers are averages, and sd is shown in parentheses. Two-tailed t test, *P < 0.05 and **P < 0.01 versus the wild type (n = 5 to 7). nd, none detected.
