Figure 5.

Cell-adhesion defects in qua2 leaves are suppressed by loss of AtPRX71. Rosette leaves of five-week-old Col-0 (WT) (A), qua2 (B), atprx71 (C), qua2 atprx71 (D), and 35S::AtPRX71 #22 (35SPRX71) (E) plants were stained with ruthenium red and epidermal cells of the adaxial face were photographed. Asterisks indicate gaps between adjacent cells. (A–E), Representative images of at least five images per genotype. (F), For each experiment, total area of the gaps between adjacent cells per image was analyzed (total area of images = 60,000μm²). Bars indicate average gap area ± SD (n = 3). Asterisks indicate statistically significant difference between qua2 and qua2 atprx71, according to Student’s t-test (^***p < 0.01).
