Transcriptional regulation of FUS3 by abiotic stresses. (A-D) Relative FUS3 mRNA levels measured by qPCR in mature seeds exposed to abiotic stresses during imbibition under constant light. A) salt, 150 mM NaCl; B) osmotic, 300 mM mannitol; C) low temperature, 12°C and D) high temperature, 32°C. The mean value of three replicates was normalized using ACTIN 7 as the internal control. Results are plotted as the ratio to the lowest detected level. Two independent experiments were conducted with similar results and one representative is shown.
