The plip-tri Plants Are Hypersensitive to ABA.
(A) Germination rates of the wild-type and plip-tri seeds with or without 2 µM ABA addition on agar-solidified medium. Observation of 100 seeds in one plate was treated as one biological repeat. n = 4, ±sd. Student’s t test was applied to compare the wild type with each of the remaining genotypes (**P < 0.01).
(B) Morphology of the 2-week-old wild-type and plip-tri seedlings grown on MS agar-solidified medium with 0.5 µM ABA or the equivalent ethanol solvent (Mock). Bars = 0.5 cm.
(C) ABA content in the 2-week-old wild-type, plip-tri, and plip-CRP seedlings during a 48-h time course following the addition of 10 µM MeJA to the MS agar-solidified medium. Three to five seedlings were pooled as one biological repeat. n = 3, ±sd. Student’s t test was applied to compare the wild type with each of the remaining genotypes (**P < 0.01).
