Fig 1: SnRK2.4 and SnRK2.10 regulate enzymes of the ascorbate cycle during response to salt stress. Wild type and snrk2 mutant seedlings were subjected to treatment with 150 mM NaCl for times indicated. Expression of (A) APX1—Ascorbate Peroxidase 1, (B) APX2—Ascorbate Peroxidase 2, (C) APX6—Ascorbate Peroxidase 6, and (D) DHAR1—Dehydroascorbate Reductase 1 was monitored by RT-qPCR; error bars represent SD; stars represent statistically significant differences in comparison with the wt plants (Student t-test) where * p < 0.05; ** p < 0.001; *** p < 0.0001. Total protein level of (E) APX and (F) DHAR1 was monitored with immunoblot analysis; after exposure, membranes were stripped and reused for GAPDH detection as a loading control. At least two independent biological replicates of the experiment were performed. Results of one representative experiment are shown.
