Figure 7

AtRaptor1A -/- 1B -/- double mutants. (A) Col, A-, B- and A-B- seedlings at seven days on growth medium with no sucrose. (B) 1A-/- 1B+/- progeny germinated on growth medium supplemented with 0%, 1% or 6% sucrose. Shown for each treatment is an A-B- seedling and an A-/- B+ sibling. A-B- seedlings on 1% sucrose show significant root growth and minimal leaf buds. Scale bar for A, B = 5 mm. (C) Quantification of results in (B). (D) A-B- root tips grown on 1% sucrose lack an epidermal cell layer. (E) A-B- roots form root hairs on 1% sucrose. Scale bar = 100 μm. Compare to 3H, I. (F, G, H, I) Scanning electron microscopy on Col, A-B- shoot apices from growth medium plates. As in (B), A-B- seedlings show minimal (SAM) activity. Primordia for leaves 1 and 2 form but do not expand significantly. Scale bar = 50 μm (F, G) or 15 μm (H, I).
