ZmPGH1 suppresses chemical-induced cell death in maize. (a, b) The comparisons of average areas (in square millimeter) of 10-OPEA- (a) or SA- (b) induced lesions (cell death) between families derived from F2 segregants from the UFMu-02561 family homozygous for the mu102938 insertion (here termed OE) compared to families derived from segregants homozygous for the absence of the insertion (termed WT). Differently numbered lines (i.e WT1, WT2) indicate individual families. Error bars represent standard error; the numbers of the plants used were shown on the bars. Two lesions were measured on each plant; (c) Comparisons of average area (in square millimeter) of 10 mM SA-induced lesions (cell death) among 41 plants from an UFMu-02561 F2 family including 7 segregants homozygous absent for the mu1029380 insertion (WT), 22 segregants heterozygous for the mu1029380 insertion (HET) and 12 segregants homozygous for the insertion (OE). Pairwise comparisons for all means were performed with One-Way ANOVA test followed by Tukey-Kramer HSD at 90% confidence limits
