Leaf mineral content and metal responsive gene expression in rice leaves
grown under different Pi application conditions. The content of each
mineral nutrient was quantified on the leaf dry matter basis (a). These
results are expressed as mean ± SD (n = 3-4). (b) shows the mRNA
expression of the metal-deficiency-responsive genes ZIP4 ,IRO2 , and COPT1 in the leaves. The mRNA expression is
expressed on the F.W. (red bars) and 18S ribosome expression (blue bars)
basis. These results are expressed as mean ± SD (n = 3-7). Different
alphabets indicate significant differences among different Pi
application conditions (Tukey-Kramer’s HSD test, p <
0.05).
