Effects of wild-type or mutant YxaL proteins on the main root length and lateral root number of two-week-old A. thaliana seedlings. Box plots are shown of the main root length (a) and lateral root number (b) of two-week-old seedlings planted after 2 h treatment with or without the addition of 1 µg ml−1 wild-type, T175W/W215G or T175W/S213G/W215A mutant protein to the soaking solution. Statistically significant differences between the data from untreated control and treated seed groups were determined by two-tailed Mann–Whitney U tests, with p values of less than 0.05. |
