Expression of ERECTA in the central zone (pCLV3:ER) or broadly in the meristem (pSTM:ER) rescues leaf initiation most efficiently. The number of leaf primordia formed was measured by DIC microscopy using 3-DPG (A) and 5-DPG (B) seedlings. Three genetically independent transgenic lines were analyzed for each construct and the data were combined to determine the mean (n for each transgenic line = 7 to 11; total n for each construct = 27 to 65). Error bars represent se. Different letters indicate significant difference at P < 0.05, as determined by one-way ANOVA with Tukey’s post test.
