Figure 3.

Growth Characteristics of the Different Mutant Combinations.

(A) Hypocotyl length after 3 days of growth in the dark on vertical agar plates (n = 48 to 74).

(B) Fresh weight of the aerial tissue from plants grown in soil for 18 days under constant light (n = 23 to 28). Plants are homozygous for the indicated mutations. Ws, Wassilewskija (wild type).

The graphs display the mean for each sample, and error bars indicate the 95% confidence limits of each mean. In addition, the t test was used to compare each mutant genotype with the wild-type control. Samples that are significantly different from the wild type (P < 0.05) are indicated with asterisks. Triple asterisks indicate P < 0.001.
