FIGURE 9.
Effect of knocking out nitrilases on Arabidopsis growth when exposed to benzyl cyanide or phenylacetic acid. Pictures of representative wild type, nit1-3, nit2, and NIT2RNAi seedlings after 10 days grown on control medium (A) or on medium supplemented with Bz-CN (B–D) or PAA (E,F) at the given doses. In case of Bz-CN-treated WT and nit2 seedlings, red arrowheads denote elongated hypocotyls, whereas the white ones mark epinastic cotyledons. Scale bars indicate 1 cm.
