SlUVR8 is required for tomato acclimation to UV radiation. (A) Quantitative RT-PCR analysis of SlUVR8 mRNA levels in young leaves from wild-type Ailsa Craig (WT) and three independent 35S::SlUVR8Ri transgenic lines. Each bar represents mean value from three biological replicates from each line (n = 3). Error bars representing SD are shown in each case. “*” and “**” means P < 0.05 and P < 0.001 respectively (Student’s t test). (B) Quantitative RT-PCR analysis of SlUVR8 mRNA levels in young leaves from wild-type Ailsa Craig (WT) and three independent 35S::SlUVR8 transgenic lines. Each bar represents mean value from three biological replicates from each line (n = 3). Error bars representing SD are shown in each case. “*” and “**” means P < 0.05 and P < 0.001 respectively (Student’s t test). (C) Upper panels, phenotypes of 4-week-old 35S::SlUVR8Ri-2, Ailsa Craig (WT), and 35S::SlUVR8OE-1 seedlings grown under white light without UV-B. Bottom panels, phenotypes of the seedlings after UV-B radiation for a week. (D) Percentage of bleached leaves of the seedlings after UV-B radiation in (C). For each line, total 50 leaves from 10 different plants were counted (n = 50). “*” and “**” means P < 0.05 and P < 0.001 respectively (Student’s t test).
