Figure 3. TaPLC is involved in wheat seedling growth.
Pharmacological experiments were used to test the TaPLCs regulating the growth of wheat. Two PI-PLC inhibitors, U73122 and edelfosine were used to treat the seeds and germinated seeds, respectively and the state of the seedlings after three days of growth were recorded. a, PI-PLC inhibitor was added on germinated seeds (− +); b, Inhibitor was added on un-germinated seeds, and remained in the culture medium (+ +); c, Inhibitor was added on un-germinated seeds, but removed from culture medium before the seeds germination (+ −); d, Control i.e. DMSO solution or water was added on germinated seeds (− −). Three biological replicates were conducted.
