Figure 6. Relationships between the growth rate of Arabidopsis calli or Arabidopsis cells and the distribution levels of 18:2 and 18:3.
(A) correlation curve between 18:2 and fresh weights of calli grown in liquid medium with or without Pi. (B) same as A, but for 18:3. The initial fresh weight was 1.5 ± 0.2 g for each culture and the biomass evolution was measured after 8 days of growth. (C) correlation curve between 18:2 and fresh weights of cell suspension cultures. (D) same as C, but for 18:3. The biomass was measured after 3 days of culture, and the initial fresh weight at the beginning of the experiment was 30 ± 5 mg/ml. Correlation factors R2 were calculated by linear regression using GraphPad Prism software.
