From: Phenylalanine suppresses cell death caused by loss of fumarylacetoacetate hydrolase in Arabidopsis
The death of sscd1 seedlings was suppressed by treatment with Phe. (a) The death rate of sscd1 seedlings which were grown in medium added without (control) or with 0.1, 0.5, 1, or 2 mM Phe under SD for 5–9 days. Error bars represent standard deviations (n > 30). The experiment was performed in three independent biological repeats. The single asterisk and double asterisks represent the significance of differences compared to the control (two-tailed Student’s t-test) at the level of P < 0.05 and P < 0.01, respectively. (b) The phenotype of WT and sscd1 seedlings which were grown in medium added without (control) or with 0.5, 1 or 2 mM Phe under SD for 7 days. (c) The phenotype of WT and sscd1 seedlings which were first grown in MS medium under LD for 7 days and transplanted to MS medium added without (control) or with 2 mM Phe for an additional 7-d growth under LD, and then transferred to SD for a 7-day growth. Phe phenylalanine; SD short day; WT wild type, Col-0; LD long day.
