Figure 6From: Ethanol inducible expression of a mesophilic cellulase avoids adverse effects on plant developmentCross sections of transgenic and wild-type tobacco stems (imaged at 10x) stained with calcofluor-white and visualized under UV light. Tissue sections of wild-type plants (A) were compared with 35SS::Trcel5A (B) and alcR::TrCel5A (C) transgenic plants. No significant difference was detected between the wild-type and transgenic plants, except a marginal increase in the number of small vessels (white arrow) in 35SS::Trcel5A plants. Scale bars are 50 μm.Back to article page
