Fig. 6. AUX1 and PIN2 are required for directional auxin transport into the epidermis but not for auxin-mediated root meristem skewing.

a DII ratiometric signal in the indicated YUC-TAA1 R2D2 lines in the aux1 background. Presented are merged confocal images of mDII (red) and DII (yellow). Scale bar = 100 μm. b Quantification of relative DII/mDII following 5 μM estradiol and mock treatments of indicated aux1-mutant lines. The red boxes indicate regions used to quantify the DII/mDII ratio. Shown are means (±SE) of two independent roots, each with two regions of interest (n = 4). c Quantification of root nuclei instantaneous speed following 5 μM estradiol treatment of the indicated aux1-mutant lines. Data points are concatenated means (±SD) of ~1000 nuclei from two independent root movies, n ≥ 125 nuclei. d DII ratiometric signal in the indicated YUC-TAA1 R2D2 lines in the pin2 background. Presented are merged confocal images of mDII (red) and DII (yellow). Scale bar = 100 μm. e Quantification of relative DII/mDII following 5 μM estradiol and mock treatments of indicated pin2-mutant lines. The blue box indicates the region used to quantify the DII/mDII ratio. Shown are means (±SE) of two independent roots, n ≥ 300 nuclei. f Quantification of root nuclei instantaneous speed following 5 μM estradiol treatment of indicated pin2-mutant lines. Data points are concatenated means (±SD) of ~1000 nuclei from two independent root movies. gh Quantification of the root nuclei instantaneous angles in the indicated lines following treatment with 5 μM estradiol or untreated mock control. Data points are concatenated means (±SD) of ~1000 nuclei from two independent root movies. ij Single-cell scatter analysis of velocity at the X and Z-dimensions. Time is indicated by the rainbow scale. T0 is 10 min following mock or estradiol treatment. Ctr indicates controls, heterozygous lines for promoter-specific:XVE:YUC1:TAA1; R2D2 and the aux1 (i) or the pin2 (j) mutation. aux1 or pin2 are also heterozygous for promoter-specific:XVE:YUC1:TAA1; R2D2 but homozygous for aux1 or pin2. Statistical analysis is presented in Supplementary Fig. 17. For all experiments, the n number for each line and time point is indicated at Source data file.
