The expression levels of several cold-regulated genes, which are not regulated by CBF/DREB1, were reduced in the mca1 mca2 double mutant. (A) Relative mRNA transcript levels of CBF/DREB1 and its regulon genes, COR15A, COR47, and RD29A, in wild-type and mca1 mca2 plants were determined by quantitative RT-PCR analyses. Three-week-old plants grown at 24 °C were incubated at 4 °C for the indicated time. Values represent the means ± SD (n= 3) from representative experiments from 3 biologically independent experiments. (B) Relative expression levels of cold-regulated genes that are not CBF/DREB1-regulon genes30 were determined by quantitative RT-PCR analyses. Values represent the means ± SD (n= 3) from representative experiments from 3 biologically independent experiments. (C) The expression levels of MCA1 and MCA2 in wild types and mca1 mca2 double mutants were investigated by quantitative RT-PCR analyses. An asterisk indicates a significant difference from wild-type plants at each point (p < 0.05) as determined by unpaired Student’s t-tests.
