Fig. 8From: Downregulation of GeBP-like α factor by MiR827 suggests their involvement in senescence and phosphate homeostasisAltered GPLα expression results in modified Pi levels in Arabidopsis leaves. Total phosphorus (P) and inorganic phosphorus (Pi) content was measured in leaves of miR827- and GPLα-modified plants grown hydroponically. The Pi and total P contents were measured in 28-day-old plants. a Left panel: total P measured in miR827-overexpressing lines (miR827–OE1 and 2), wild type (Col-0, WT), and miR827-suppressed lines (miR827–STTM1 and 2). Right panel: Pi measured in these same miR827-modified lines. b Left panel: total P measured in GPLα-overexpressing lines (GPLα–OE1 and 2), WT (Col-0), GPLα-suppressed lines (GPLα–SI1 and 2), and GPLα-mutant line (GPLα–KO1). Right panel: Pi measured in these same GPLα-modified lines. c Left panel: total P measured in GPLα-overexpressing lines (GPLα–OE3 and 4), WT (Ler), GPLα-suppressed lines (GPLα–SI3 and 4), and GPLα-mutant line (GPLα–KO2). Right panel: Pi measured in these same GPLα-modified lines. Three independent transgenic lines were examined.
