Figure 6: Growth of A. thaliana wild type and sec22-3.
From: Caesium accumulation in yeast and plants is selectively repressed by loss of the SNARE Sec22p/SEC22
(a) Plant development was quantified by measuring biomass (fresh weight) of aerial parts at the indicated time points (n≥15). Fresh weight to dry weight ratio was 12.1±1.8 for the wild type and 11.6±2.2 for sec22-3 (n=6). Germination rates were identical on soil (86%±2% in wild type and 88%±2% in sec22-3) as well as in hydroponic culture (100% in wild type and 95%±2% in sec22-3). Data are presented as means±s.d.; n≥20. (b) The mutant did not reveal obvious developmental defects in comparison with wild type; in particular, flower development was not altered. Size bars: upper panel 0.5 cm; lower panel 2 cm.
