Figure 1. FAB1B, FAB1C and FAB1D regulate root hair growth in Arabidopsis (A) FAB1 gene structure and T-DNA insertion sites; (B) Analysis of gene expression of FAB1B, FAB1C and FAB1D by RT-PCR; (C) Assay of root hair length in 5-day-old seedlings (the yellow dotted box represents quantitative area) (Bar=5 mm); (D) Quantification of root hair length; (E)-(M) The root hair phenotype of the FAB1 single mutants, double mutants and YM201636 (FAB1-specific inhibitor) treatment of Col-0 seedling (Bar=0.5 mm); (N) Quantification of (E)-(M) mutant root hair length; (O) Images of the typical root hair morphologies, the root hair morphologies were categorized as swollen or branched (red arrow indicates) (Bar=75 μm); (P) Quantification of frequency of branched root hairs (%). *** P<0.001 (Student’s t-test)
