WHY2 alters carbon reallocation and leaf senescence in response to methyl jasmonate. A, Photograph of 4-week-old seedlings and iodine-stained rosettes of the oeWHY2, why2, comWHY2, and wild-type (WT) seedlings after methyl jasmonate (MeJA) treatment for 4 h. The degree of blue staining of the leaves (leaf 5, 6, 7) reflects the accumulation of starch. B, Determination of chlorophyll and starch content. The results were repeated in three independent experiments. Shown are the mean ± sd of three biological replicates. Asterisks denote statistically significant differences from the wild type calculated using Student’s t test: **P < 0.01. C, The expression levels of jasmonic acid-responsive genes and SWEET 11, 12, 15 genes in response to MeJA by RT-qPCR analysis. Shown are the mean ± sd of three biological replicates. Asterisks denote statistically significant differences from the wild type, calculated using Student’s t test: **P < 0.01 and ***P < 0.001.
