Inhibition by ABA of H+ efflux from roots of Arabidopsis wild type (Col-0) and sextuple knockout of ABA receptors 112458 pyr/pyl (pyr/pyl). (A) Qualitative assay on plates with the pH indicator bromocresol purple. The result of a typical experiment is shown. A yellow colour around the roots after 8h indicates proton extrusion, and similar results were obtained in three independent experiments. (B) Quantitative determination of H+ efflux from plant roots. Sucrose (1%) was added to starved plants at time 0. Circles: wild type; squares: pyr/pyl mutant; closed symbols: control conditions; open symbols: 10 µM ABA added 10min before time 0. Values are means of three repetitions and standard errors (not shown for clarity) were 0.3–0.5 (Col-0, circles) and 0.6–1 (pyr/pyl, squares) nmol H+ mg–1 of fresh weight (FW) of roots.
