Figure 5From: Glutathione synthesis is essential for pollen germination in vitroStatistical analysis of the effects of BSO, GSH, and IAA treatment on pollen germination rate in pad2-1. Graph shows pollen germination rates (%) of pollen obtained from the Arabidopsis thaliana mutant pad2-1 after 16 h incubation on solidified pollen germination media containing different concentrations of BSO (0.1 mM), GSH (1, 3, or 5 mM) and IAA (22.8 μM) for 16 hours. Data represents means and standard errors. Different lowercase letters indicate significant differences (P < 0.05) analyzed with the Kruskal-Wallis test followed by post-hoc comparison according to Conover. N > 2000 pollen grains per treatment from 3 or more independent experiments.Back to article page
