Extended Data Fig. 8

(a) Schematic representation of PROT1 genomic regions with positions of the T-DNA insertions. (b-d) Box plots showing survival to fruit (b), fecundity (c), and fertility (% of flowers developing siliques; d) phenotypes of prot1 mutant and Col-0 wild type plants under heat stress (red) or combined heat and drought stress (purple). Numbers of independent experiments are indicated for survival to fruit (b) and fecundity (c). Numbers of plants are indicated for fertility (d). Box boundaries indicate the 25th and 75th percentiles, whiskers extend to 1.5 times the interquartile range, center lines correspond to medians. Different letters signify P < 0.05, one-way ANOVA, Tukey’s test. (e-g) Association of PROT1 gbM with relative fitness (e), survival to fruit (f), and fecundity (g). Correlation coefficients (R) and P values of Pearson’s correlation test are indicated.
