a Hypocotyl lengths of seedlings grown under the continuous white light at 20 °C for 7 days. Error bars indicate s.d. (n = 15 plants). **P<0.01 (two-tailed Student’s t-test); NS, not significant (two-tailed Student’s t-test P ≥ 0.05). b qRT-PCR analysis of PIF4. Seedlings were grown in the same conditions as a. The expression levels of PIF4 were normalized to those of PP2A. Error bars indicate s.d. (n = 3). *P < 0.05 and **P < 0.01 (two-tailed Student’s t-test). c Hypocotyl lengths of seedlings grown under continuous white light at 20 °C for 7 days. Error bars indicate s.d. (n = 15 plants). **P < 0.01 (two-tailed Student’s t-test). d PIF4 expression levels in the seedlings grown in the same growth conditions as c. The expression levels of PIF4 were normalized to those of PP2A. Error bars indicate s.d. (n = 3). *P < 0.05 and **P < 0.01 (two-tailed Student’s t-test). e The Venn diagram shows the overlap between genes that are up-regulated by global PIF quartet (G.PIFQ), ML1 promoter-driven PIF4 (ML1:PIF4 UP), and SUC2 promoter-driven PIF4 (SUC2:PIF4 UP). f The Venn diagram shows the overlap between genes that are down-regulated by the global PIF quartet, ML1:PIF4, and SUC2:PIF4. g GO analyses of ML1:PIF4-regulated and SUC2:PIF4-regulated genes. Total: Arabidopsis total genes. h Percentage of auxin (picloram)-activated or repressed genes in global PIF quartet-regulated or ML1:PIF4-regulated or SUC2:PIF4-regulated genes. i Percentage of PIF4 direct target genes in ML1:PIF4-regulated or SUC2:PIF4-regulated genes.
