FIGURE 9.
Mutants of both PEX11a and CAT3 protoplast cultures exhibited reduced cell division rates. (A,B) Viability of pex11a and cat3 protoplast cultures decreased by approximately 5% compared to WT cultures over 96 h. (C,D) A delayed cell division initiation with reduced cell division rates by approximately 3.5- and 2.5-fold for pex11a and cat3 cultures respectively after 96 h. Values are means ± SEM with n ≥ 3. (∗p < 0.05, t-test).
