Figure 6: Root growth is affected by phosphate starvation and lysoPC application in an ALA10-dependent manner.
From: A phospholipid uptake system in the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana
(a) ALA10 expression in 7-day-old wild-type seedlings grown on full nutrition (FN) and phosphate depleted (NoP) media was determined by qRT-PCR.a, b and c represent independent biological replicates. Data represent means of technical replicates±s.e.m. (n=6); ***P≤0.001 and *P≤0.05, significantly different from FN grown plants according to REST©70. (b) Primary root length of 7-day-old wild-type and ala10 seedlings grown on phosphate-depleted media. Data represented as box plot with marked median±s.d. (n=115–165 from three biological replicates); ***P≤0.001, significantly different with respect to wild type (WT) according to Mann–Whitney U-test. (c) Primary root length of 7- day-old wild-type and ala10 seedlings grown on phosphate-depleted media with the addition of liquid medium±lysoPC. Data represented as box plot with marked median±s.d. (n=115–165 from three biological replicates); **P≤0.01, significantly different with respect to treatment without lysoPC according to Mann–Whitney U-test.
