From: Modification of Threonine-1050 of SlBRI1 regulates BR Signalling and increases fruit yield of tomato
Dephosphorylation of Thr-1050 improves plant vegetative growth. a Top, western blot analysis of transgenic protein expression using anti-green fluorescent protein (GFP) antibodies. CBB, Coomassie brilliant blue. Bottom, phenotypes of plants at the germination stage (8 days after sowing), seedling stage (40 days after sowing), and maturation stage (120 days after sowing). b Relative transcript levels of SlBRI1 by qRT-PCR. c Plant height of plants at the maturation stage. d Internodal length and (e) stem diameters of the second flower node. f Plant expansion at the maturation stage. g Stem-leaf angle, (h) ultrastructure by scanning electron microscopic under a 1500x-magnified visual field, and (i) leaf area of the sixth leaf. j Cell number per unit of the sixth leaf under a 300x-magnified visual field. Data are the means ± SDs of at least 5 independent biological samples. Asterisks indicate significant differences compared with PSlBRI1::SlBRI1-GFP plants (*P < 0.05; **P < 0.01; Student’s t-test)
