From: The Medicago truncatula nodule identity gene MtNOOT1 is required for coordinated apical-basal development of the root

Fig. 4

Vascular xylem differentiation is delayed in the primary root of Mtnoot1 at 6 DAG. The fraction of roots with lignified central metaxylem cells in zone 3 and zone 4 is decreased in the Mtnoot1 tnk507 mutant when compared with wild-type seedlings. The lignification level of the central metaxylem cells in zone 4 of the Mtnoot1 mutant is similar to that of wild-type medicago zone 3, indicating that the differentiation of vascular xylem cells is delayed in the Mtnoot1 mutant. The presented data combines three independent experiments, each experiment contains 20 roots
