PIP2 and PIP3 affect root elongation. (A) Root elongation in seedlings of the Col wild type, the 35S:PIP2 and 35S:PIP3 transgenic plants, and the pip2, pip3 and pip2 pip3 mutants. Seeds were sterilized and plated on 1/2 Murashige and Skoog (MS) plates, kept at 4°C and in darkness for 2 days before transferred to a growth room and grown vertically for 8 days. Pictures were taken by using a digital camera. (B) Root length in seedlings of the Col wild type, the 35S:PIP2 and 35S:PIP3 transgenic plants, and the pip2, pip3, and pip2 pip3 mutants. Root length of 8-day-old seedlings was measured. Data represent the mean ± SD of 21–25 seedlings. *significantly different from that of the Col wild type seedlings (student’s t-test, p < 0.001). The experiments were repeated three times with similar results.
