Root phenotypic analysis of wild type and ACS11-OX transgenic seedlings on ½ MS agar plates. Seeds were grown for 4 days after sowing on ½ MS agar plates, then transferred to different ½ MS agar plates and grown for 6 days vertically. a Root phenotypes of wild type and ACS11-OX transgenic seedlings (strong, weak). b Root length of wild type and ACS11-OX (strong) seedlings. Error bars represent standard deviation (SD). Values denoted by ** were significantly different (P < 0.01) by t-test. c RT-PCR analysis of ACS11 expression in wild type and ACS11-OX transgenic seedlings. ACTIN8 was used as a control. d Time-course analysis of root growth rate. Four-day-old seedlings were transferred to different ½ MS agar plates, and root lengths were measured daily for 6 days. A lower root growth rate was noted in ACS11-OX (strong) seedlings relative to wild type seedlings; however, ACS11-OX (weak) seedling root growth rate was similar to that of wild type seedlings
