  1. Plant height and plant diameter of three-month-old wild type P. deltoides, vector control and PdGAUT12.1-KD lines. Means ± SE, Significance P values are expressed as **P < 0.05, **P < 0.001 as calculated by statistical analysis using Statistica 5.0 with one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) followed by Tukey’s multiple comparison test. n = 25 for wild type P. deltoides, n = 10 to 15 for vector control (v control-1 to v control-8) and PdGAUT12.1-KD lines (AB30.1-AB30.11).
