GmBRI1 restores hypocotyl elongation of bri1-5. (a) Morphologies of the six-day-old seedlings grown in light and darkness. Representative seedlings are the wild-type (WS2), bri1-5 mutant and three transgenic lines (Line 1, 6 and 9) from left to right. Seedlings were photographed under a Nikon SMZ1500 dissection microscope using a Nikon DS-Fi1 camera and NIS-Elements F Imaging software. Bar = 1 mm; and (b) Average hypocotyl length of seedlings grown for six days in light and darkness. The data represents the mean ± SD of three independent experiments. The asterisks indicate significant differences compared to the bri1-5 mutant (**, p < 0.01 by the t-test).
