The Mtphya-1 mutant has a very short primary axis in LD and VLD compared to R108. a-d Photographs of wild type R108 and Mtphya-1 (non-backcross) mutants in LD (a), VLD (b), SD (c) and VSD (d). Arrowheads indicate the primary axis. Scale bar = 5 cm. e-f Graphs showing the lengths of the primary axis of wild-type R108 and Mtphya-1 mutants at different days of growth in LD (e) and VLD (f). The LD Mtphya-1 plants were F3 homozygous mutants after a backcross to R108 while the VLD Mtphya-1 plants were F2 homozygous mutants after two backcrosses to R108. The data are shown as the mean ± (t.SE) (0.05) (n = 5–10)
