Growth kinetics and hypocotyl cell elongation in WT (L er ), ga1-3 , and gai seedlings grown with and without exogenous gibberellic acid (GA). (A) Seedlings were grown in continuous light for 10 d with plates in a horizontal position and hypocotyl growth measured over this period. Measurements are an average taken from 5 to 15 seedlings ± SE for each time point. Arrows indicate time (3 d) at which hypocotyls were at approximately 50% of their final length. (B) Light micrographs showing phenotypes of 3-d-old seedlings described in (A) (left panel for each treatment), bar = 1 mm, and FESEM micrographs of hypocotyl epidermis (right panel for each treatment), bar = 25 μm.
