Figure 2From: Growth and stress response in Arabidopsis thaliana, Nicotiana benthamiana, Glycine max, Solanum tuberosum and Brassica napus cultivated under polychromatic LEDsGrowth of A. thaliana plants under different illumination sources. A) Bolting age of Arabidopis plants. n = 15 (fluorescent), n = 11 (LED). B) Measurement of chlorophyl content at different time points. n = 15 plants (mean from 3 leaves from one plant). C) Fresh weight at different time points. n = 11 (25; 42 days), n = 6 (36 days). D) Relative expression of PR-1 gene in 5 weeks old plants after treatment with 300 μM NaSA. Values represent 2 independent samples from 2 biological replicates. The PR-1 expression was normalized to reference gene SAND. In all cases error bars represent SD. Asterisks indicate statistically significant differences compared to plants grown under fluorescent lights (*P < 0.05; two tailed Student’s t-test).Back to article page
