From: HSI2/VAL1 PHD-like domain promotes H3K27 trimethylation to repress the expression of seed maturation genes and complex transgenes in Arabidopsis seedlings

Figure 4

Effects of DNA methylation inhibitor 5-aza-2′-deoxycytidine (5-azadC) on the growth and development of WTLUC, hsi2-2LUCand hsi2-4LUCseedlings. Seeds were germinated vertically on media plates containing various concentrations of 5-azadC and pictures were taken 7 days after germination. A. Morphology of seedlings. B. Measurements of hypocotyl and root growths. Hypocotyl and root lengths were measured using ImageJ software. Data represent mean values (’sD) from 10 seedlings. The experiments were repeated with two technical replicates. Letters indicate significant differences between WTLUC and hsi2-2LUC or hsi2-4LUC at each time point (a = p< 0.005, b = p< 0.0001).
