Altered phytohormone levels in Col-0 and max2 mutant lines. Hormone levels in max2 mutant plants were measured in response to both drought (excised leaves) for ABA and pathogen infection (P. syringae DC3000) for SA. The results shown are representative of both max2 mutant lines. A) ABA levels of max2 mutant plants in response to drought. The values are means ± SE of 2 independent experiments with 3 biological repeats in each experiment. Asterisks indicate significant differences, as determined by Student’s t-test (*P < 0.05; **P < 0.01; two-tailed t test). B) The leaves of 4-week old Col-0 and max2 mutant plants were inoculated with P. syringae and collected for analysis of SA level. The values are means ± SE of 2 independent experiments with 3 biological repeats in each experiment. Asterisks indicate significant differences, as determined by Student’s t- test (*P < 0.05; two-tailed t test).
