From: Do mitochondria play a role in remodelling lace plant leaves during programmed cell death?
Quantitative analysis of the effect of CsA, a mitochondrial PTP antagonist on lace plant PCD. The effect of CsA on the mean ratio of number of perforations per cm of leaf length for control and treatment groups. The mean ratio of number of perforations per cm of leaf length decreased with increasing concentrations of CsA, indicating that the inhibition of the PTP via CsA reduced the amount of PCD occurring in lace plant leaves. Significant relationships were found between the control, 10 μM and 15 μM treatment groups (P < 0.05). No significant relationships were found between the treatment groups (P > 0.05). Number of leaves per control and treatment group ranged from n = 30-60. Bars with the same letters are not significantly different.
