Figure 2. PZA inhibits the last step of ethylene biosynthesis.

Figure 2

(a) Quantification of the hypocotyl lengths (upper) and root lengths (lower) of 3-day-old etiolated seedlings of Col-0 grown on vertically oriented MS medium supplemented with 1 μM ACC or 2 p.p.m. ethylene (ET) and/or 50 μM (+) or 100 μM (++) PZA. Bars represent the average length (±s.d.) of fifteen seedlings (Student's t-test, between PZA-treated and non-PZA-treated seedlings; **P<0.01). (b) Quantification of the relative ethylene production of 30 3-day-old etiolated seedlings and 5-day-old green seedlings of eto1-2 with 50 μM PZA compared to MS treatment. Bars represent the means (±s.d.) of five independent treatments (Student's t-test, between PZA-treated and non-treated seedlings; **P<0.01). (c) Quantification the relative ethylene production (compared to Col-0 under MS treatment) of 3-day-old etiolated seedlings of Col-0, acs octuple mutant, ctr1-1 and ein2-5 with the application of 10 μM ACC and/or 50 μM PZA for 24 h. Bars represent the means (±s.d.) of three independent treatments (Student's t-test, between PZA-treated and non-treated seedlings; **P<0.01).
