LecRK-VIII.2 promotes cell expansion and proliferation in the seed coat. A, The size and number of cells in the seed coat were investigated by Fluorescent Brightener 28 staining, bar = 100 μm (upper panel) or 20 μm (lower panel). B, Relative cell size of lecrk-VIII.2-1, lecrk-VIII.2-2, and OE7 to WT. Values are means ± SE (n > 120 cells) relative to the WT value that is set at 1. C, The number of cells in the seed coat of WT, lecrk-VIII.2-1, lecrk-VIII.2-2, and OE7. Values are means ± SE (n > 120 seeds). D, The expression level of LecRK-VIII.2, EXPA1, EXPA5, and EXPA15 in different stages of developing seeds. Values are means ± SE relative to the LecRK-VIII.2 value that is set at 1. E, The expression level of EXPA15 in the developing seeds of WT, lecrk-VIII.2-1, lecrk-VIII.2-2, and OE7. Values are means ± SE (n = three biological replicates). *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01 compared with the WT (Student’s t test).
