Characterization of MOA-expressing transgenic Arabidopsis lines. a Growth phenotype of TG lines compared to WT (Col-0) plants. The three independent lines MOA OE-lines 1, 2 and 3 (L1-L3) were selected for further experiments. The rosette and root phenotypes were assessed on four-week-old (upper panel) and 14-days-old plants (lower panel) cultivated as described in Methods. Scale bar = 1 cm. b Immunoblot analysis of MOA expression level in leave (L) and root (R) extracts. FLAG-tagged MOA was detected using anti-FLAG antibodies. Coomassie brilliant blue(CBB)-stained SDS-PAGE of leave and root extracts was used as a loading control. Full- length versions of the anti-FLAG- and Ponceau-S-stained blot and the CBB-stained SDS-PAGE gel are provided as additional file Fig. S1
