Fig. 1

Effect of 1 μM indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) on the volume changes of vacuoles. The vacuoles had been incubated in the presence of K+ at 0, 20 and 100 mM. IAA was added to the incubation medium at time 0 min. The data points are the means (± SE) from nine independent experiments. The volume of individual vacuoles was calculated from the diameter of the individual vacuoles in a photographic image. The diameter of the vacuoles was measured at the indicated times and converted to a percentage of the initial value (fixed as 100%). The inset on the right shows the volume of vacuoles after one hour of the experiment. Bars indicate means ± SEs. Means followed by the same letter are not significantly different from each other (LSD test P < 0.05)
