Fig. 6

a–c WT and crw1 were grown in agar with different mechanical resistance for 2 days. a Penetration resistance of agar with different concentration (0.3-1.2%). b Root phenotypes. c Root depth. d–f WT and crw1 were grown in water with or without buoyance resistance for 2 days. d a diagram for the polystyrene foam pellet experiment. e Root phenotypes. f Root depth. Data are means ± SD; n = 9 in (c) and 12 in (f). Different letters above bars indicate a significant difference at P < 0.05 (two-way ANOVA followed by Tukey’s test). Scale bars are 1 cm. Data and images shown are representative results of three independent experiments with similar results. Source data are provided as a Source Data file.
