Root stem cell and patterning mutants. Germination and growth rate scoring based on the analysis of variance and Tukey test. No statical difference was detected for mutants jkd4, wox5, and trycpc compared to the wild-type (WT) mean growth rate (mm/h). The number (N) of roots measured in each group of mutants for the WT, jkd4, wox5, and trycpc was 56, 53, 52, and 45, respectively (total N = 206). In A, the y-axis represents the growth rate (mm/h), and the x-axis represents the time point of growth of each mutants. Colored bars indicates the mutants analyzed. In B, the y-axis represents the root length (mm), and the x-axis indicates the duration of root growth in hours. C represents the hourly growth rate throughout the growth cycle; the x-axis represents the time point of growth of each mutants. Colored bars indicate the mutants analyzed Additional file 1: Fig. S10B complements C. Overlapping between roots first started at 64 h in the WT group. Three biological replicates were tested using this system
