Phenotypic characterization and rescue of zas mutant. a Nipponbare wild-type and zas mutant plants at heading stage. b Roots of hydroponically grown wild-type and zas mutant seedlings in the absence (Control) and presence of zaxinone (2.5 µM). c Effect of zaxinone (10 µM) on soil-grown (rhizotron) wild-type and zas mutant plants. d Effect of zaxinone (2.5 µM) on root phenotype of Shiokari wild-type and ccd mutant seedlings grown hydroponically. Each data point represents one plant (a plant height n = 12, internode length n = 6; b n = 6; c n = 4; d n = 8). Data represent mean ± SD. Statistical analysis was performed using one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Tukey’s post hoc test. Different letters denote significant differences (P < 0.05). CTL Control, Zax Zaxinone
