PIF4 affects MYC2 stability in the dark and in far-red light. MYC2 stability was examined in the WT and pifq backgrounds.
(A) Transgenic plants (WT/MYC2-YFP and pifq/MYC2-YFP) were grown in WL conditions for 10 days and then exposed to dark conditions. MYC2 and ACTIN were immunoblotted. Normalized MYC2 abundance relative to ACTIN is shown as MYC2/ACTIN.
(B) Transgenic plants (WT/MYC2-YFP and pifq/MYC2-YFP) were grown in WL conditions for 10 days and then exposed to far-red light. MYC2 and ACTIN were immunoblotted. Normalized MYC2 abundance relative to ACTIN is shown as MYC2/ACTIN.
(C) Transgenic plants (WT/MYC2-YFP and pifq/MYC2-YFP) were grown in WL conditions for 4 days and then treated with/without darkness for 30 h. YFP fluorescence was observed in the root tip, and the relative change in signal intensity was quantified. Scale bar, 50 μm.
