Overexpression of DRM2 affect rice crown and lateral root initiation. Histograms show the statistics of crown and lateral root numbers. Two biological replicates for ta2 mutant and two independent transgenic lines for DRM2 overexpression are performed. Tested numbers for each sample are indicated. Double and single asterisks indicate significant differences, P -value < 0.01 and < 0.05 (Student’s t -test). ns, no significant difference. Bars = 0.5 cm and 1 cm for LR and CR, respectively
