Other claims from this paper (7)
- Intervention effect Griseofulvin inhibited Arabidopsis root growth.
- Intervention effect Griseofulvin caused significant root tip swelling associated with ROS-induced cell death.
- Intervention effect Griseofulvin caused swelling in the transition zone of root tips.
- Intervention effect Trifluralin caused swelling in the meristematic zone of root tips.
- Observation Griseofulvin first destroyed cortical microtubules in transition and early elongation zones.
- Observation Griseofulvin mainly affected expression of microtubule-associated protein genes rather than tubulin genes.
- Observation Trifluralin significantly suppressed αβ-tubulin gene expression.
