Fig. 7From: The UDP-glucose: glycoprotein glucosyltransferase (UGGT), a key enzyme in ER quality control, plays a significant role in plant growth as well as biotic and abiotic stress in Arabidopsis thaliana AtUGGT mutant plants are less tolerant to heat shock stress. Arabidopsis wild type and UGGT mutant plants were grown on soil for six weeks. The plants were treated at 42 °C for 2 hrs and returned to the growth chamber for 24 hrs. The leaves were then analyzed and classified as “dead” (completely dry and collapsed leaves), “damaged” (chlorotic lesions in leaves) or “healthy” (green and turgid leaves) and counted. The results are expressed as a percentage of total leaves analyzed per genotype (around 60 leaves per genotype)Back to article page
