a, Primary root length in 10-day-old seedlings germinated on control medium (n = 20) or on a medium supplemented with 0.2 μM synthetic ds-miR156 (n = 48). b,c, Photographs of representative control (b) and ds-miR156-treated (c) vertical plates (15 days after sowing). d,e, Magnified seedlings from b (d) and c (e) showing (in red) the presence of adventitious roots. f, Transcript level of SPL3, SPL9 and SPL10 extracted from roots at the stage depicted in b and c. For all boxplots, the bottom and top of each box denote the first and third quartile, respectively (n = 6 biological replicates). In the boxplots, dots represent single data points, whiskers denote minimum/maximum values, the box defines the interquartile range, the centre represents the median and box bounds represent the lower and upper quartiles. Welch’s t-test (two-sided) values are shown.
