Quantitative analysis of root hair phenotypes. A, Mean length of 50 root hairs from 10 siblings for each genotype. B, Mean width of 50 root hairs from 10 siblings for each genotype. C, Mean number of root hairs/millimeter of root. Visible hairs were counted in a 1-mm section of mature root and only those observed from above were counted. D, Mean epidermal cell length (mm) obtained from 50 cells (both atrichoblasts and trichoblasts) from 10 siblings for each genotype. E, Number of root hairs per one cell length. The number of hairs/millimeter root length was multiplied by the corresponding epidermal cell length to give the mean number of hairs per unit cell length. F, Percentage of branched hairs obtained from 10 siblings for each genotype. WT, Arabidopsis ecotype Ler; rpa-1, sgt3118 mutant in Ler background; rpa-2, SALK_000767 mutant in Col background.
