Improved thermomemory in ataf1 mutants. (a) Thermomemory phenotype of ATAF1 transgenic plants. Seedlings of ATAF1-OE, ataf1-2, ataf1–4, and WT were exposed to the HS regime schematically shown in Fig. 1a. Photos were taken 14 days after the second HS (triggering stimulus). The phenotype of one representative replicate of at least three independent biological replicates is shown. (b,c) Quantification of the results shown in (a). (b) Percentage of seedlings in different phenotypic classes; the thermotolerance phenotype was classified into three classes depending of the extent of plant recovery. The phenotype classes are illustrated in panel (a). (c) Seedling fresh mass in HS-primed and triggered plants compared to unstressed control plants. Error bars represent the standard deviation, calculated from three biological replicates; each replicate is the average mass of 13 seedlings. Significant differences between transgenic and WT plants were calculated using Student’s t-test; *indicates P-value < 0.05.
