Table 1. WT and sr5 root growth and comparative analysis of their RAM activity.
| Genetype | RAM length (μm) | MZ length (μm) | MZ no. of cells | TZ length (μm) | Elongated cell length (μm) | Rate of root growth (μm/h) | Cell production rate (cell h-1) | Cell cycle duration (h) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| WT | 335±33A | 209±28A | 35±3A | 126±17A | 199±26A | 327.8±48.6A | 1.6±0.3A | 14.6±3.2a |
| sr5 | 222±18B | 149±7B | 26±3B | 73±7B | 85±11B | 74.4±16.8B | 0.9±0.2B | 20.4±5.9b |
Different letters associated with values indicate a significant (upper-case letter: P<0.01, lower-case letter: P<0.05) difference between the WT and sr5 means, based on Duncan’s multiple range test.
