Functions of GmMAX3b when expressed in Arabidopsis plants. a Mature plants of Col-0, atmax3–9, mutant complementation (atmax3/GmMAX3b), and GmMAX3b overexpression lines. Plants were photographed at 35 days after sowing (left panel). Quantification of the number of branches of each plant (right panel) was conducted and calculated on at least three independent lines of more than 20 plants. b The differences between seedlings (top panel) and leaf shapes (bottom panel) of Col-0, atmax3, mutant complementation plant (atmax3/GmMAX3b), and GmMAX3b-OE plants (left panel). Ratios of leaf length to leaf width (right panel) were collected on 2-week-old seedlings. Data represent means ± s.d (n = 20 plants for each genotyping). c The different primary root lengths seedlings of atmax3/GmMAX3b complementation, atmax3, and Col-0 plant with GmMAX3b (atmax3/GmMAX3b). d Quantification of shoot height was conducted and calculated on at least three independent lines of more than 20 plants. Data represent means ± s.d from three independent experiments. Asterisks indicate significant difference according to a Student’s t-test (**P < 0.001, * P < 0.05)
