Fig. 5From: Two Clade A Phosphatase 2Cs Expressed in Guard Cells Physically Interact With Abscisic Acid Signaling Components to Induce Stomatal Closure in RiceOsPP2C50 and OsPP2C53 physically interact with SAPK10 and their overexpression promotes water loss. a BiFC analysis of VN-SAPK10 and OsPP2C53-VC or OsPP2C50-VC. OsSar1p-VC was used as a negative control. Scale bars are 10 μm. b Co-IP analysis using OsPP2C53-GFP or OsPP2C50-GFP and SAPK10-Flag expressed in rice protoplasts. These experiments were repeated three times and a representative result was presented. c Water loss assays of OsPP2C53-overexpressing transgenic lines (E25–1, 2 and 3) and control line (A8: empty vector transgenic plant). d Water loss assay of OsPP2C50-overexpressing transgenic lines (E40–1, 4 and 5) and control line (A8: empty vector transgenic plant). The values depict the average and ± SD with 3 replications. ANOVA analyses were performed by comparing with water loss of A8 plant.Back to article page
