    RNA gel-blot profile for tomato root MAP kinase induced by deprivation of Pi, K, or Fe. The MAP kinase is homologous to tobacco WIPK and is rapidly induced by withholding Pi, K, and Fe from the plant. A, RNA gel blot. In this and subsequent experiments, RNA abundance for roots of treated plants was compared with gel blots for roots of control (nutrient-sufficient) plants analyzed at the same time points to ensure that the changes in transcript abundance were not attributable to a diurnal response. In none of the experiments did the control plants show significant changes in gene expression over the 48-h time period used for these experiments. B, Quantitative expression data for the RNA gel blot depicted in A. In Figure 1B and the subsequent figures (except Fig. 4), the autoradiograph of the RNA gel blot was scanned, and the image was computer digitized. The gel-blot intensities were quantified using the NIH ImageJ program. Changes in gene expression were quantified as a relative signal ratio, which was determined by dividing the quantified gel-blot intensity at each time point by the RNA-blot intensity for the 0-h nutrient-sufficient plants.

    Tissue-specific expression of the transcription factor, Nitf, in different tissues and organs of tomato seedlings grown under nutrient-sufficient hydroponical conditions. Lanes 1 and 2, Roots. Because the root system was relatively large, different parts of the roots were harvested and bulked. Lane 3, Older leaves harvested from below middle trusse of the plants. These are completely functioning leaves, healthy, not showing any aging symptoms. Lane 4, Young leaves harvested from the top of the plants. They were barely fully expanded. Lane 5, Flowers. Lane 6, Old stems. Main stems harvested from bottom part of the plants, directly above the root. Lane 7, Young stems. Main stems harvested from the top part of the plants. Lane 8, Unripe fruits. Green tomato fruits of various sizes. All tissues were harvested from the same plants at the same physiological age.
