EXPA1 overexpression reduces root growth by shortening the RAM. A) 7-d-old Arabidopsis seedlings of WT (top row) and pRPS5A>GR>EXPA1 line 8-4 (bottom row) grown on MS media pH4 supplemented either with DMSO (-Dex) or dexamethasone (+Dex). The scale bar is 5 mm. B) Length of roots, (C) the size of RAM + TZ, (D) the total number of cells (No. cells) in RAM + TZ, (E) the RAM size/cell number ratio, (F) No. of cells in RAM, and (G) No. of cells in TZ of 2 independent EXPA1 overexpressing lines (8-4 and 5-4) grown on MS media +/− Dex pH 5.8 and pH 4 relative to WT. Each experiment was repeated at least 3 times with a minimum of 10 seedlings in each category (n ≥ 30), and the error bars represent a 95% confidence interval. For all experiments, mixed model ANOVA using random effects for the different experiments was used with the Tukey test as a post hoc test. Statistically significant differences within genotypes and treatments at alpha 0.05 (*) and 0.001 (***) are shown.
