MAPKs participates in the inhibition of primary root growth by C10-HSL. (a, b) Relative primary root growth of Col-0 and mpk6 seedlings exposed to 30 µM C10-HSL with(+) or without(-) 20 µM U0126 (MAPK inhibitor) for 5 d, n = 40, bar = 1 cm. (c) Phosphorylation status (pMPK6, pMPK3 and pMPK4) and total MPK6 expression level in wild-type seedlings exposed to 30 µM C10-HSL or Control for 0–60 min. (d) Relative expression of pMPK6 in wild type seedlings treated with or without 30 µM C10-HSL for 0–60 min. Control or Con refers to solvent control. All the error bars represent +/- SD (Different letters indicate significantly different values, P < 0.05 by Tukey’s test)
