From: Root enhancement in cytokinin-deficient oilseed rape causes leaf mineral enrichment, increases the chlorophyll concentration under nutrient limitation and enhances the phytoremediation capacity

Transgenic B. napus plants have an enhanced mineral element concentration in their leaves. a Growth habit of one-month-old 35S:CKX2 transgenic B. napus lines grown on unfertilized soils supplemented with nutrient solution. b Heat map showing that 35S:CKX2 transgenic plants accumulate higher element concentrations as wild type. Mineral element concentration in wild type was set to 100%. The heat map was generated using Multiexperiment Viewer v4.9. c Concentration of selected macro- and microelements in leaves of wild type (WT) and transgenic lines. Quantification of mineral elements was done in one-month-old soil-grown plants as described in Materials and methods. Four biological replicates for each genotype were analyzed. Each biological replicate contained leaves from two plants. Data shown in (c) represent mean values ± SD. The statistical significance of differences compared to wild type was calculated using two-tailed Student’s t-test (* p < 0.05; **, p < 0.01; ***, p < 0.001)
