a A diagram illustrating the design of drought treatment experiments in sterilized and non-sterilized natural soil. b Phenotypes and (c) quantifications of root hair densities of the 5-day-old rsl2 rsl4, Col-0, and gl2 (two-sided Student’s t test). Data represent mean (bar) ± standard error of the mean (error bar). The experiment was repeated twice with consistent results (n = 6 biological replicates). d Drought tolerant phenotype at 12 days after withholding watering in Col-0 and root hair-related mutants under sterilized and non-sterilized soil. e Quantification of the relative fresh weight (fresh weight of plant shoots grown in the drought-treated group relative to the average shoot fresh weight in the control group) in each genotype at 12 days after withholding watering (n = 8). Three independent experiments showed similar results for (d and e). Results are presented as mean ± stand error of the mean (SEM). The P values between each mutant and Col-0 were labeled above each bar (two-sided Student’s t test).
