Figure 4

(A–E) Seedling phenotypes of 21-day-old wild-type (Col-0) (A), etg1-1 (B), wild-type (Nos-0) (C), ctf18-1 (D), and etg1-1 ctf18-1 (E) grown on MS plates. (F-H) Leaf growth of the first leaf pair of wild-type (Col-0), etg1-1, wild-type (Nos-0), ctf18-1, and etg1-1 ctf18-1 plants. Leaf blade area (F), epidermal cell number (G), and average epidermal cell size (H) on the abaxial side of the leaf. Data represent average ± SD (n = 5). (I) Root phenotype of 8-day-old wild-type (Col-0), etg1-1, wild-type (Nos-0), ctf18-1, and etg1-1 ctf18-1 plants grown on MS plates (two plants each). (J) Kinematic root growth analysis of the root elongation rate of wild-type (Col-0), etg1-1, wild-type (Nos-0), ctf18-1, and etg1-1 ctf18-1 plants. Plants were grown on MS agar plates. Data represent average ± SD (n = 20). (K) Number of mitotic cells per root tip of 7-day-old wild-type (Col-0), etg1-1, wild-type (Nos-0), ctf18-1, and etg1-1 ctf18-1 seedlings. Data represent average ± SD (n = 20 to 30). Asterisk marks statistically significant differences by Student's t-test (P-value <0.05).
