Fig 4. SAP, KIX and PPD act in a common genetic pathway to control organ growth.

Fig 4

(A-D) Thirty-day-old plants (A), the fifth leaves (B), siliques (C) and flowers (D) of Col-0, sod3-1 kix8-1 kix9-1, ppd2-1, and sod3-1 kix8-1 kix9-1 ppd2-1 (from left to right). (E-I) Fifth leaf area (LA), leaf cell area (LCA), petal area (PA), petal cell area (PCA), and silique length (SL) of Col-0, sod3-1 kix8-1 kix9-1, ppd2-1, and sod3-1 kix8-1 kix9-1 ppd2-1. Values (E-I) in are given as mean±s.e. relative to the respective wild-type values, set at 100%. 10 leaves, 300 cells from 10 leaves, 70 petals, 450 cells from 15 petals, and 20 siliques were used to measure LA, LCA, PA, PCA, and SL, respectively. The yellow columns indicate the expected LA, PA and SL if sod3-1 kix8-1 kix9-1 and ppd2-1 have additive effects [expected value = (sod3-1 kix8-1 kix9-1 value) × (% ppd2-1 value)]. Different lowercase letters above the columns indicate statistically different groups (P <0.01). Scale bars, 5cm in (A), 5mm in (B), 3mm in (C) and 1mm in (D).
