Functions of GmMAX4a when expressed in Arabidopsis. a Mature plants of Col-0, atmax4 mutant, complementation (atmax4/GmMAX4a), and GmMAX4a-OE lines. Plants were photographed at 25 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 different primary root lengths seedlings (left panel) of atmax4 complementation plant with GmMAX4a (atmax4/GmMAX4a), atmax4 and Col-0 plants. Quantification of the shoot height (right panel) were conducted and calculated on at least three independent lines of more than 20 plants. c Leaf shapes of Col-0, atmax4, complementation (atmax4/GmMAX4a), and GmMAX4a-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). 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)
