Figure S4. The tissue-specific effect of MyA on gibberellin (GA) and ABA metabolism during the germination ofLepidium sativum seeds incubated in continuous light or darkness without (CON) or with 5x10-4 M MyA added.
(a) The 13-non-hydroxylated (blue) and the 13-hydroxylated (red) GA biosynthesis and inactivation pathways and important metabolites detected in L. sativum seeds.
(b-d) Contents of bioactive gibberellins such as GA1 and GA4, and inactive forms such as GA24, GA9, GA34, GA8, GA13 and of ABA (e) quantified in RAD extracted from CON and MyA-treated seeds incubated for 15h. For comparison to darkness (this work), values for continuous light (Oracz et al. 2012) are presented.
Note that metabolite contents are expressed in log scale as mean values ± SE of four biological replicates.
