MED16 Is Involved in Regulating Cell Proliferation, Cell Growth, and Endoreduplication.

(A) to (C) Leaf area (A), palisade cell area (B), and palisade cell number (C) of the first pair of leaves in Col-0 and med16-2 from 5 to 25 DAG (n = 4).

(D) The palisade cells in the sixth leaves and adaxial and abaxial epidermis cells in petals of Col-0 and med16-2 (from left to right).

(E) The area of the palisade cells in the sixth leaves and adaxial and abaxial epidermis cells in petals of Col-0 and med16-2 (n = 300).

(F) DAPI staining of the sixth leaves of Col-0 and med16-2.

(G) Nuclear area of the sixth leaves of Col-0 and med16-2 (n = 40).

(H) Distribution of nuclear ploidy in the sixth leaves of Col-0 and med16-2 (n = 3).

(I) DAPI staining of the tip, middle, and basal regions of Col-0 and med16-2 petals.

(J) The nuclear area in the tip, middle, and basal regions of petals from Col-0 and med16-2 (n = 40).

(K) Distribution of nuclear ploidy in Col-0 and med16-2 petals (n = 3).

Error bars represent se. Asterisks indicate significant differences from Col-0: * P < 0.05 and ** P < 0.01. Bars = 50 μm (D) and 10 μm ([F] and [I]).
