Extended Data Fig. 5: Phenotypes of young seedlings in gapless mutants and the gapless mutants are sensitive to potassium defective treatment.
a, Representative images of ZH11, single mutants of gapless1, gapless2, gapless3 and double mutant gapless1/2 grown in full nutrient conditions for 7 days. b,c, Quantification of adventitious lateral root length (b) and shoot length (c) of ZH11, single mutants of gapless1, gapless2, gapless3 and double mutant gapless1/2, respectively. d, 7-day-old seedlings of the mutant and ZH11 were grown in a nutritive solution with (+K) or without (-K) KNO3 for another 10 days. Representative pictures are presented. e,f, Quantification of shoot length of ZH11 and the mutants without (e) or with (f) K deficiency treatment, respectively. g,h, Quantification of root length of ZH11 and the mutants without (g) or with (h) K deficiency treatment, respectively. The values in (b, c, e, f, g, h) are shown as the mean ± s.d. (n ≥ 6). The different letters indicate significant differences at P < 0.05 (one-way ANOVA with Tukey’s post hoc test). Numbers of independent samples were indicated in the columns respectively. Data points are independent samples in figures. Exact P values are listed in Source data.
