Fig 5. Root hair length of B. carinata ‘Bale’ as affected by downregulation and complementation of BcFLA1, respectively.

Root hairs stained by Toluidine Blue (A) and root hair length in μm (B). Each bar represents the mean of the root hair length of root tips from the transgenic 1^st and 2^nd order lateral root of a single independent event with the error bars indicating the standard error. Numbers indicate the respective transgenic roots. Horizontal lines represent the mean of all transgenic roots. Letters denote significant differences at P < 0.05 (Tukey test).
