Functions of GmMAX2a expressed in Arabidopsis plants. a The differences between seedlings (top panel) and leaf shapes (bottom panel) of Col-0, atmax2, complementation of (atmax2/GmMAX2a) and GmMAX2a-OE plants (left panel). Ratios of leaf length to leaf width were collected on 2-week-old seedlings (right panel). Data represent means ± s.d (n = 20 plants for each genotyping). b Hypocotyl lengths of wild type (Col-0), atmax2, mutant complementation (atmax2/GmMAX2a) and GmMAX2a-OE plants. Data represent means ± s.d (n = 30 seedlings for each genotyping). c Mature plants of Col-0, atmax2, mutant complementation (atmax2/GmMAX2a), and GmMAX2a overexpression lines. d Quantification of the number of branches/plant (left panel) and shoot height (cm) (right panel) was conducted and calculated on at least three independent lines of more than 20 plants. Data are expressed as means ± s.d. from 3 independent experiments with biological replicates. Asterisks indicate significant difference according to a Student’s t-test (**P < 0.001, * P < 0.05)
