Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress-induced PCD in water-stressed roots. (A) Expression levels of BAX Inhibitor-1 (BI-1), Luminal binding protein 2 (BiP2), and Pathogenesis-related protein 1 (PR1) in roots treated with 40% PEG (–1.76 MPa) for the wildtype (WT) and lines overexpressing (35S:Pgb1) or down-regulating (Pgb1-RNAi) AtPgb1. Values are normalized to the WT at 0 h (set at 1), and are means ±SE of three biological replicates. (B) Effects of 4-phenyl butyric acid (PBA), 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP), ethephon (ET), and diphenyleneiodonium (DPI) on root growth. Values are expressed as percentages relative to the respective control in the absence of PEG (C, –PEG) (set at 100%), and are means ±SE of three biological replicates, each consisting of 20 roots. Different letters indicate statistically significant differences (P<0.05). When applied, PEG was added at a concentration of 40% (–1.76 MPa).
