Fig 3. Quintuple mutants display a conditional root anisotropic growth defect (i.e., root swelling).

Fig 3

(A) Root tips of WT and mutant seedlings four days after transfer from MS medium containing 1% sucrose to MS medium containing 100 mM NaCl as imaged by dark field microscopy. (B) Root tips of WT and mutant seedlings four days after transfer from MS medium containing 0% sucrose to MS medium containing 4.5% sucrose as imaged by dark field microscopy. (C) Graphical representation of root tip width in response to 100 mM NaCl. (D) Graphical representation of root tip width in response to 4.5% sucrose. The stripped bars indicate seedlings grown on control unsupplemented MS plates. Quantitation of root tip width was measured at the level of the youngest root hair using ImageJ software. Values are the means (n>15) ± SE. Different letters indicate statistically significant differences (P < 0.05) between means.
