ZmCSLD1 regulates LW by cell division. a Comparison of LW and length between qLW10MTL and qlw10MTL of the six unfolded leaves (L2–7) from 40-day-old seedlings. b, c Comparison of the abaxial epidermal surface cells of the fourth middle leaf blade from 40-day-old seedlings. Fifty normal cells per plant were measured by ImageJ for the average cell width and length (b), and the number of cells in the lateral and longitudinal axis (c) of the leaf blades was estimated by dividing the average LW by the cell width and the average LL by the cell length, respectively. The data are shown as the mean ± SD (n = 30). **P < 0.01 (Student’s t-test)
