FIGURE 6.
The crown root proliferation in OsYUC1 overexpression lines is dependent on the presence of WOX11. (A) Overexpression of OsYUC1 in Hwa cultivar, which was the background of wox11-1, promoted root development. YUC1OX refers to OsYUC1 overexpression. Bar = 3 cm. (B) Overexpression of OsYUC1 in wox11-1 mutant background was not able to induce crown root development. No ectopic crown roots were observed in OsYUC1 overexpression lines. wox11-1OsYUC1OX-18, wox11-1OsYUC1OX-20, and wox11-1OsYUC1OX-39 were three independent T0 plants. Bar = 4 cm. (C) Relative transcript levels of OsYUC1 in wox11-1 mutant lines. wox11-1OsYUC1OX-18, wox11-1OsYUC1OX-20, and wox11-1OsYUC1OX-39 had much elevated OsYUC1 transcripts levels.
