Mutations and overexpression in ATDJC17 cause root hair alteration and ectopic root hair production. (A–C) Variation in number of root hairs is illustrated in Atdjc17-1-1 and 35S::AtDjC17 mutants as compared to WT plants. Green dots highlight the presence of root hair at the site. (G) Average number of root hairs determined from a total of 10 roots. An area approximately 2 mm from the root cap was chosen for the comparison covering 0.65 mm root length. (D–F) Stereomicroscope images of WT (D), Atdjc17-1-1 (E) and 35S::AtDjC17 (F) roots false colored to show the trichoblast (red) and atrichoblast (green) cell files. Arrows in Atdjc17-1-1 and 35S::AtDjC17 mutant highlights the presence of two trichoblast cell files adjacent to each other illustrating the presence of ectopic root hair. (H) Comparison of distance between adjacent root hairs in a single vertical trichoblast cell file in WT (D) Atdjc17-1-1 (E) and overexpressor 35S::AtDjC17 (F). *indicates significant difference (P ≤ 0.05).
