The length and number of root hairs on the seminal roots of wild type, three mutants, and three revertants
| Genotype | Wild Type | OsCSLD1∷Ds | oscsld1-7a | oscsld1-7b | Rev0 | Rev6a | Rev6b |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Root hair length, μmb | 117.8 ± 4.3c | 36.2 ± 0.9 | 44.0 ± 2.1 | 31.8 ± 0.6 | 110.1 ± 3.1 | 94.3 ± 7.8 | 78.0 ± 8.4 |
| Root hair no.d | 15.2 ± 1.2 | 14.6 ± 1.5 | 14.3 ± 1.8 | 13.7 ± 1.7 | 14.8 ± 1.3 | 14.5 ± 1.5 | 14.2 ± 1.9 |
a
Plant materials were grown on 0.5% phytogel in 0.5× MS for 3 d. The captured images were used to measure individual root hairs.
b
Root hairs examined were in the 2 to 3 mm from the root apex.
c
The values are the means ± sds from 200 root hairs (10 hairs/root).
d
Hairs were counted in a 200 × 200 μm2 sector that was 2 to 3 mm from the root apex. The values are the means ± sds from 20 roots.
