Figure 5. AtSfh1p is required for root hair development in A. thaliana.
Light microscopy of living, 10 day old, wild-type (left) and nullizygous Atsfh1-/- seedlings (right). The defects in polarized membrane trafficking to the growing root tip in Atsfh1-/- plants manifest themselves in the obvious short root hair phenotype of Atsfh1-/- seedlings. Bars, 430μm.
