Figure 8
mRNA expression involved in phytic acid synthesis and phytic acid
content in leaves. (a) shows the scheme of phytic acid synthesis in
plants (Penera et al., 2019). (b) shows the mRNA expression of phytic
acid synthesis mRNA expression was expressed on the F.W. (red bars) and
18S ribosome expression (blue bars) basis. (c) and (d) show leaf phytic
acid content expresses on the F.W. and leaf area basis, respectively.
(e) shows the molecular ratio of phytic acid to free Pi in leaves. These
results are expressed as mean ± SD (n = 3-4). Different alphabets
indicate significant differences among different Pi application
conditions (Tukey-Kramer’s HSD test, p < 0.05).
