Fig. 4From: The role of Tre6P and SnRK1 in maize early kernel development and events leading to stress-induced kernel abortionEffects of sucrose starvation on Tre6P levels in cultured maize kernels (2012 season). Tre6P content was determined for kernel tissue using anion exchange chromatography in tandem with mass spectrometry [18]. a Control kernels on continuous sucrose are indicated with closed squares. Kernels were starved for 48 h (shaded area), then allowed to recover for 48 h on 150 mM sucrose are indicated with open squares. b Region from 12-96 h is expanded for detail. Means are calculated using 4 biological replicates, consisting of 3 plants each. Significance as indicated by asterisks was determined by the Student’s t test (P < 0.05).
