Figure 5

Assessment of seed basal heat tolerance in different Arabidopsis thaliana functional mutant genotypes. (A-D) Seeds were subjected to a 50°C heat shock for 60 min. (A) Radicle emergence and (B) green cotyledon emergence during the 12 day post-heat shock period. (C) Germination levels (radicle emergence parameter) after 12 days. (D) Morphology of 12-day-old seedlings. Percentages were determined in relation to the total number of sown seeds. Error bars represent SEM (n = 7 plates with ~25 seedlings each). Asterisks represent mutant genotypes with statistically significant differences in relation to the wild-type Col (Student t-test; ns, non-significant; ***, P < 0.001).
