SGN3 localizes on both sides of the Casparian strip domain and is important for the CASP1-GFP patches to fuse into a contiguous band.

(A) 3D-confocal time lapse imaging of CASP1::CASP1-GFP in Col-0 and sgn3-3 background reveals problems with progression of CASP1-GFP localization in sgn3-3. Images show median and surface image of …

Overview of ionomic experiments.

Ionomic analysis performed on sgn3 leaves (sgn3-3, sgn3-4, and sgn3-19 T-DNA insertion lines) in three different labs (Hokkaido, Lausanne and Aberdeen), two growth systems (hydroponic and soil) and two growth conditions (short days and long days). Values are presented as mean ± SD. t-tests were performed to determine the significant differences to WT (corresponding p-values are indicated).
