Exogenous zaxinone application rescued the growth defects of Oszas2 mutant. A, The images of the WT (DJ) and Oszas2-d mutant grown for 2 weeks in soil supplemented with 10 μM of zaxinone and tap water (0.01% [v/v] acetone) as mock. The white bar represents 10 cm of scale. The white arrows represent main tillers. B–F, Tiller number (B), root biomass (C), shoot biomass (D), root length (E), and shoot length (F) of the WT and Oszas2 mutants are shown in (A). Boxes in boxplots represent the median, first and third quartile. The minimum and maximum values are showed with the length of the whiskers. Dots represent the biological replicates. Values in (B–F) are means ± sd (n ≥ 7). Student’s t test used for the statistical analysis (*P ≤ 0.05; **P ≤ 0.01; ***P ≤ 0.001; ns, not significant).
