Fig 4. RSL class I genes act after the asymmetric cell division that forms root hair cells in B. distachyon.

Fig 4

(A, B) Root hair length in Bdrsl1, Bdrsl2, and Bdrsl3 dsRNAi single knock down lines is indistinguishable from wild type. Scale bar 10 mm. Error bar is SD. (C, D) Root hairs are shorter in Bdrsl1 Bdrsl2 and Bdrsl2 Bdrsl3 double knock down lines than that of wild type. Scale bar 500 μm. Asterisks in (D) indicate statistically significant differences between knock down lines and wild type at **P<0.01 (t-test). Error bar indicates SD. (E) Asymmetric mitoses occur in all cell files of the RSL class I double knock down plants. White arrows indicate positions of new transverse cell walls formed after asymmetric mitosis. Scale bar 10 μm.
