Transcriptional regulation of root meristem size-related genes in rice seminal roots under control, N deficiency, and N deficiency + Z treatments. Germinated rice seeds were incubated in a solution containing 0 N, 0 N + Z, or 1 N as a control. Rice seminal roots were collected after one day (a), two days (b), and four days (c) of incubation, and qRT-PCR was used to compare the transcription levels of root meristem size-related genes, including six OsPLTs and OsIAA3, under each treatment at each time point. Data are presented as means ± SD. Three biological replicates with three technical replicates each were included in statistical and error range analyses. The relative expression levels of root meristem size-related genes in control roots were set as 1. Asterisk indicates a significant difference (p < 0.05) in the relative expression level of the same gene in different treatments. N, nitrogen; NS, not significant; 1 N, 1 mM N; 0 N, 0 mM N; 0 N + Z, 0 mM N + 4 nM Z; Z, zeatin.
