(A) Schematic model of constructs used to create B11 and IC9C HR reporter lines (Swoboda et al., 1994; Molinier et al., 2004). (B) Loss of BCP1 causes reduced frequency of somatic homologous recombination (HR). Wild type (WT) and bcp1-1 plants carrying genomic substrates for single-strand annealing (B11) and synthesis-dependent strand annealing (IC9C) types of HR were grown on mock and 1 μM containing MMC media for 10 days. Gray dots indicate HR events per plant. The boxplots’ hinges are in the 1^st and 3^rd quartile, with a marked median. Mean is represented by a cross with a numerical value. Whisker marks show the lowest or highest value within the 1.5 interquartile range below or above hinges. Asterisks represent significant differences in Mann-Whitney U-test *** P < 0.001, NS – not significantly different.
