Some morphological traits of the <i>mda1</i> mutants.

<p>(A–C) Seven-day-old seedlings and (D–F) 21-day-old rosettes of <i>mda1-1</i> (B, E), <i>mda1-2</i> (C, F) and Col-0 (A, D). (G) Forty-five-day-old plants grown in soil. (H) Fourteen-day-old plants grown on vertically orientated agar plates. Bars = 1 mm (A–H). (I) Concentration (mg/g of fresh weight) of chlorophyll a (Ca) and b (Cb), and carotenoids in the <i>mda1</i> mutants and Col-0. Data represent mean of 10 samples of 15-day-old plants per genotype ± standard deviation (SD). Two asteriscs indicate that the value is significantly different from the wild type at P<0.01, respectively, using Student’s <i>t</i>-test.
