Fig. 6: Effect of different CO2 growth environments on the relative gene expression of aquaporins in leaf and root of the two tomato genotypes.

From: ABA-mediated regulation of leaf and root hydraulic conductance in tomato grown at elevated CO2 is associated with altered gene expression of aquaporins

Fig. 6

Relative expression of genes encoding the aquaporin subfamily of plasma membrane intrinsic proteins (PIPs) in leaf (a) and root (b) of wild-type tomato “Ailsa Craig” (WT) and its representative ABA-deficient mutant (flacca) grown under ambient (400 ppm, a[CO2]) and elevated (800 ppm, e[CO2]) CO2 environments. Different letters on the top of the columns for each PIP gene indicate significant difference between the treatments by Tukey’s test at P < 0.05. Error bars indicate standard error of the means (SE) (n = 4)
