Disruption of DGAT1 or PDAT1 has limited impact on TAG accumulation and plant survival under extended darkness. A, TAG levels in the wild type (WT) and single and double mutants. B, Plant survival rates after 10 d of darkness followed by 10 d of recovery in the light. Three-week-old wild-type and mutant plants were exposed to darkness (D) for 10 d. Data are the means of three biological replicates with SE. Asterisks indicate statistically significant differences from the wild type based on Student’s t test (P < 0.05).
