Figure 1From: APUM5, encoding a Pumilio RNA binding protein, negatively regulates abiotic stress responsive gene expressionAPUM5 was induced in response to Pst DC3000 and A. brassicicola infection but did not affect susceptibility. (A) APUM5 gene expression pattern upon Pst DC3000 inoculation. AtPR1 was used as a positive control for Pst DC3000 inoculation. Error bars indicate standard deviations (n = 3). (Student’s t-test; *P < 0.01, ***P < 0.0001). (B) APUM5 was induced by A. brassicicola infection. PDF1.2 was used as a positive control for fungal pathogen infection. Error bars indicate standard deviations (n = 3). (Student’s t-test; **P < 0.001, ***P < 0.0001). (C) Bacterial growth analysis in APUM5 transgenic plants. NahG plant was used as a positive control for Pst DC3000 inoculation. Error bars indicate standard deviations (n = 3). (D) Quantitative analysis of necrotic lesion size upon A. brassicicola infection at 5 dpi.Back to article page
