Figure 8

Reduced root elongation and epidermal cell length does not induce root hair formation in rhd6-1. Wild-type (A, E), rhd6-1 (B, F), prc1-1 (C, G) and prc1-1/rhd6-1 (D, H) were grown for 8 days on MS agar containing either 1% sucrose (A-D) or 1% arabinose (E-H). (I) Primary root lengths were measured and expressed as a percentage of the wild-type growth on 1% sucrose. (J) Lengths of mature root epidermal cells of wild-type, rhd6-1, prc1-1 and prc1-1/rhd6-1 grown on 1% sucrose or 1% arabinose (n = 30). Error bars show s.d. Bar = 100 μm.
