Fig 3. CEP2 loss of function results in shortened lateral root cap (LRC).

Fig 3

The residual CEP2 activity in cep1 cep2 double ko/kd mutants (cep1+cep2-RNAi) plants results in a prolonged LRC as compared to cep2 ko mutant plants, but shorter as compared to WT plants. The LRC width is not impaired. (A) Comparison of LRC length and width in 7 days old seedlings of WT with cep2 ko and cep1 cep2 double ko/kd mutants (cep1+cep2-RNAi; lines 2.21 and 3.14). Columns marked with different letters indicate statistically different groups for LRC length according to the ANOVA-and Duncan test (p<0.01). Columns marked with similar letters indicate groups not statistically different for LRC width according to the ANOVA-and Duncan test (p>0.05). (B) LRC length expressed as percentage of WT plants. Data represent the respective means of 46 plants in three independent experiments (biological replica) each comprising 15 plants per line (experiment 1 and 2, each) or 16 plants (experiment 3) per genotyp.
