Abstract

<p>(<b>A</b>) GO enrichment of 2,977 down-regulated genes (log<sub>2</sub> ratio ≤ −3) after MPK3/MPK6 activation. RNA-seq analysis was performed using 12-d-old <i>DD</i> seedlings treated with 5 μM DEX for 0 and 6 h under light. Transcript levels were fold changes relative to the 0 h sample. GO analysis was carried out by using DAVID online tool [<a href="http://www.plosbiology.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pbio.2004122#pbio.2004122.ref057" target="_blank">57</a>,<a href="http://www.plosbiology.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pbio.2004122#pbio.2004122.ref058" target="_blank">58</a>]. Enrichment scores are shown as −log<sub>10</sub> (<i>p</i>-value). (<b>B</b>) Schematic diagram of photosynthetic linear electron flow. Expression levels of genes involved in photosystem assembly and repair are shown as a heat map. (<b>C</b>) GO enrichment of 1,039 up-regulated genes (log<sub>2</sub> ratio ≤ −3) after MPK3/MPK6 activation. Enrichment scores are shown as −log<sub>10</sub> (<i>p</i>-value). (<b>D</b>) Activation of MPK3/MPK6 induces drastic down-regulation of photosynthesis-related genes. Twelve-d-old <i>DD</i> plants grown in liquid medium were treated with EtOH or 5 μM DEX for 8 h under light. Transcript levels were quantified by real-time PCR and presented as fold changes relative to 0 h samples. Values are means ± SD, <i>n</i> = 3. <i>EF1a</i> was used as internal control, <i>n</i> = 3.
