Figure 2. The capacity of Pi storage and recovery is impaired in the pht5;1 mutants.

Figure 2

The Pi level of WT, pht5;1-1, pht5;1-2, pht5;1-3, pht5;2 and pht5;3 plants (a, asterisks indicate a significant difference compared with WT, *P<0.05, **P<0.01, Student's t-test) and their respective double and triple mutants (b, different upper and lower case letters represent a significant difference among genotypes in the shoot and root samples, respectively, analysis of variance P<0.05) grown under Pi-sufficient conditions. The phenotype of 21-day WT, pht5;1-2, pht5;1-2 pht5;2, pht5;1-2 pht5;3, pht5;2 pht5;3 and pht5;1-2 pht5;2 pht5;3 plants grown under Pi-sufficient (+P) and Pi-deficient (−Pi) conditions, and after 3 days of Pi replenishment following 3 days of Pi starvation (Recovery) (c). Error bar, s.d. (n=3). Scale bars, 10 mm. Results were reproducible in at least three independent experiments.
