Medium Change–Induced Touch Response in M. sativa and L. japonicus NORK mutants.

Medium change experiment as described in Figure 2, but with other species and their respective NORK mutant. Both for M. sativa (A) and L. japonicus (B), the same trend is visible. Medium change induces a decrease in the percentage of root hairs with a cytoarchitecture of a growing root hair, from which the wild types are able to recover and the NORK mutants not. Monitored were six roots for M. sativa wild type and MNNN1008 and four roots for L. japonicus wild type and Cac41.5, respectively, >50 root hairs per root.
