Fifth rosette leaves were measured 24 days after sowing. Plants were grown on medium plus 10 μM dexamethasone (+) or on control medium (−). G80E (+) represents transgenic plants that overexpressed the ROT3G80E gene. %, percentage of the value for the fifth leaf of rot3-1 mutant plants grown without dexamethasone; wt, wild type; Col, Columbia.
