Heat map representing the effect of the binary combinations for rosette and leaf area.

The outer ring shows the percentage of the rosette size of the combinations compared to the WT (C/W). In the middle rings, percentages of the observed sizes of the cotyledons (L0) until leaf 6 (L6) and the complete rosette are shown compared to the expected if non-interacting value (EXPni). Significant differences to the rosette EXPni value (FDR <0.05) allowed identifying synergistic interactions (black line) and negative interactions (dashed line) between two transgenic lines. The inner circle shows the color code with dark pink being the lowest and deep green being the highest value. Combinations that are at least 5% larger than each of their heterozygous controls are marked in bold.

Overview of all heterozygous and homozygous combinations and their controls (Col x mutant or mutant x Col) obtained by crosses.

Horizontally, the pollen donors are shown and vertically the pollen receptors. The samba mutant plants were mostly used as a pollen receptor because they produce little pollen. The heterozygous gene combinations are shown in light green and their controls in darker green. Reciprocal heterozygous crosses are shown in blue and the homozygous combinations are indicated with an (*).

Relative gene expression levels in the heterozygous binary combinations and their controls.

Each graph represents the relative expression of a gene of interest in Col-0, the heterozygous control and the heterozygous combinations.

Phenotypic analysis workflow.

16 plants per genotype were grown in three independent repeats and at 21 DAS (1), leaf series were made (2) to measure the individual leaf size (5). Images of the leaf series were pre-processed (3–4) and the individual leaf area was measured (5) with ImageJ v1.45 (NIH; http://rsb.info.nih.gov/ij/). The data was analyzed using a mixed model and the effect size for the genotypes were calculated (‘Materials and methods’). Finally, these estimates of the single control lines and the double transgenics were plotted in graphs (6) and compared to the wild-type and a calculated expected if additive value in heatmaps (6).

Network representing the combinations showing positive epistasis on total rosette area and leaf series of gene combinations with a large effect on leaf size.

(A) The connections between two transgenics indicate the observation of a synergistic effect on rosette size. Two transgenics producing larger leaves resulting from an increased cell area are SAUR19OE and EXP10OE. (B) Both synergistic (GRF5OE-SAUR19OE and ANTOE-SAUR19OE) and additive combinations (da1-1-GA20ox1OE and ANTOE-AVP1OE) lead to plants strongly enlarged up to 39% compared to the WT. In order to flatten the leaves for area measurements, cuts were made in the blade.
