An AKIN10 elicitor DCMU delays EIN3-dependent ethylene inducible leaf senescence. (a,b) Anthocyanin accumulation was observed (a) and measured (b) in detached mature leaves in combination of sucrose and DCMU under light (n = 25). (c,d) Leaf degreening (c) was monitored and chlorophyll contents (d) were measured with detached mature leaves in combination of ACC and DCMU under darkness (n = 25). Values are means of triplicates with standard error bars (*p < 0.001; **p < 0.01; ***p < 0.05). (e) Expression of marker genes for senescence and ethylene signaling was monitored using quantitative RT-qPCR. EIF4a served as a control. (f) Leaf degreening was observed for Col-0, ethylene insensitive ein3-1 and ethylene oversensitive EIN3-expressing transgenic lines (EIN3) in the absence and presence of DCMU. (g) Fluorescence signals were observed in root tips of EIN3-GFP expressing transgenic Col-0 in the presence of ACC and/or DCMU under confocal microscopy. (h) Fluorescence signals were observed in root tips of transgenic lines expressing EIN3-GFP and AKIN10 WT or AKIN10 IN in the presence of ACC under confocal microscopy. All experiments were repeated with consistent results. Representative results were shown.
