Figure 4.

ETR1 and ETR2 oppositely affect the transcript abundance of many genes encoding for ABA signaling proteins. The transcript levels of genes in germinating seeds encoding for proteins in the ABA signal transduction pathway were analyzed with real-time qRT-PCR as described in Figure 3. The average ± se for two to three biological replicates with three technical replicates each is shown. In all panels, 0.01% (v/v) ethanol was used as a solvent control. Data were analyzed using a two-way ANOVA and Tukey’s multiple comparisons test. In each panel, different letters indicate significant difference (P < 0.05).
