AtPARK13 overexpression confers thermotolerance.
A, semiquantitative RT-PCR showing AtPARK13 overexpression in two independent pBA002-AtPARK13 transgenic lines as compared with the WT at 21 and 37 °C for 5 h. B, increased resistance of AtPARK13-overexpressing plants as compared with transgenic plants expressing the pBA002 empty vector as a control at 37 °C for 12 days. C, increased resistance to heat stress (42 °C for 24 h) and thermotolerance in AtPARK13 overexpression lines as compared with WT plants. D, semiquantitative RT-PCR showing AtPARK13 overexpression in two independent pER10-AtPARK13 transgenic lines after β-estradiol induction as compared with the uninduced lines. E, increased resistance to heat stress (42 °C for 24 h) and thermotolerance in AtPARK13 overexpression lines with inducible promoter system compared with pER10 empty vector as a control.
