A jaz decuple mutant (jazD) is highly sensitive to jasmonate and exhibits reduced growth and fertility. (A) Root length of 8-d-old WT Col-0 (WT), jazQ, and jazD seedlings grown in the presence of 0, 5, or 25 µM MeJA. Data show the mean ± SD of 30 plants per genotype at each concentration. Capital letters denote significant differences according to Tukey’s honest significant difference (HSD) test (P < 0.05). (B) jazD leaves are hypersensitive to COR. The eighth leaf of 40-d-old plants grown under 12-h light/12-h dark photoperiod was treated with 5 µL water (mock) or 50 µM COR. Leaves were excised and photographed after 2 or 4 d of treatment. Arrows denote location of visible anthocyanin accumulation at the site of COR application. Inset, Right is enlargement of photograph of the COR-treated jazD. (Scale bars: 1 cm.) (C) RGR of soil-grown WT, jazQ, and jazD plants. (D) Total fatty acid content in seeds from the indicated genotype. Data show the mean ± SD of seeds obtained from five plants per genotype. (E) Time course of seed germination. Colored bars indicate the percentage of germinated seeds at various times after sowing on water agar: white, day 1; gray, day 2; black, day 3 and all later times; red, nongerminated seeds.
