Induction of a bZIP Type Transcription Factor and Amino Acid Catabolism-Related Genes in Soybean Seedling in Response to Starvation Stress

Figure 3

Induction of autophagy of soybean seedlings in response to nutrient starvation. (a) The expression profiles of GmATG8i and GmATG4 under various nutrient condition as indicated. (b) The immunoreactive signals of ATG8i-related polypeptides under various nutrient conditions as indicated. Mobility shift between GmATG8i (open triangle) and phosphatidyl ethanolamine- (PE-) conjugated GmATG8i (closed triangle) is indicated. Nutrient treatments, semiquantitative RT-PCR, and immunoblot were carried out as described in Section 2.
