Figure 7. Phenotypic analysis of Arabidopsis fut mutants compared to wild-type plants grown on solid medium.

Figure 7

Wild-type, fut4, fut6 and fut4/fut6 seedlings were grown on MS medium for 7 days and then transferred to cellophane layered MS-agar medium plates without any supplements (a), with 100 mM NaCl (b) and with 100 mM mannitol (c) and grown for additional 7 days. (d) fut4/fut6 double mutants are salt sensitive. The root growth response of fut4, fut6 and fut4/fut6 mutant plants to various NaCl concentrations was compared with those of wild-type. Data are presented as percentage relative to the growth of wild-type on MS medium. Bars represent mean ± SD (n = 3). A significant difference was identified between wild type and fut4/fut6 mutant plants as indicated by p>0.05 in students t-test. (e) fut4/fut6 double mutants are not sensitive to osmotic stress. The root growth response of fut4, fut6 and fut4/fut6 mutant plants to various mannitol concentrations was compared with those of wild-type. Data are presented as percentage relative to the growth of wild-type on MS medium. Bars represent mean ± SD (n = 3).
