Arabidopsis seeds were surface-sterilized in 50% bleach with 0.01% Triton X-100 for 15 min and washed five times with sterile, doubly distilled H2O before plating on MS medium (4.3 g MS salt, 10 g sucrose, pH 5.7, 8 g phyto agar per liter). After 3-4 days of cold (4 °C) treatment, the plates were wrapped in foil and kept in at 24 °C in an incubator before the phenotypes of seedlings were analyzed. For propagation, seedlings were transferred from plates to soil (Pro-mix-HP) and grown to maturity at 22 °C under 16-h light/8-h dark cycles. Ethylene treatment of Arabidopsis seedlings was performed by growth of seedlings on MS plates in air-tight containers in the dark supplied with either a flow of hydrocarbon-free air (Zero grade air, AirGas) or hydrocarbon-free air with 10 ppm (ppm) ethylene as previously described [28 (link)].
Zero grade air
Zero grade air is a high-purity compressed gas used in laboratory applications. It is a mixture of nitrogen and oxygen, free of contaminants and impurities. Zero grade air meets stringent purity specifications to ensure consistent and reliable performance in sensitive analytical instruments and processes.

About PubCompare
Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.
We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.
However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
