Precocious leaf senescence caused by dexamethasone (DEX)-induced AtCKX3 overexpression. (A) Transcript levels of AtCKX3 in WT and AtCKX3in transgenic plants at different time points after DEX induction were qPCR analyzed. Data indicate mean values ± SD of three samples. (B) Phenotypes of WT and DEX-induced AtCKX3 transgenic plant. Photo was taken 5 days after DEX treatment of plants (21 DAG). Total chlorophyll contents (D) and Fv/Fm ratios (E) of leaves from WT and AtCKX3in plants 24 h after DEX treatment were measured. Data indicate mean values ± SD of six samples. *** represent significant differences of P < 0.001. Student’s t-test was used. (E) Transcript levels of AtNAP in WT and AtCKX3in transgenic plant at different time points after DEX induction were qPCR analyzed. Data indicate mean values ± SD of three samples
