An image showing several siliques of Arabidopsis plants next to each other in the top row, and Arabidopsis seedlings in the second row below. Some siliques are straight and lean, as they should be, others are club-shaped and deformed. Some roots are "of average" length, but some are also stunted and short. These two effects represent problems in stem cell maintenance in either shoot or root meristems.

Cropped Fig. 7 Slope of the GLM (Fig. 2) characterizing the change in a root anatomical phene across nodes (from CR1-CR5) between drought treatments per genotype as integrative drought response indicator. Transparent colors indicate that a phene did not significantly change across nodes (i.e., with age , Fig. 2, GLM p-value > 0.05). Significance levels of treatment differences are given for each root anatomical phene per genotype (p<0.1. , 0.05*, 0.001**, 0.0001***, not significant (>0.1), ns).
