^a Surface area of epidermal cells was measured using the image analysis software ImageJ. Values represent the mean ± standard error of three replicates each consisted of ten epidermal cells.

* and ns. indicate significant and non-significant, respectively, compared with WT (P<0.05 by Turkey-Kramer’s test).
