Measurement of plant growth in PtoLAC14-OE transgenic poplar plant. a Images of 6-month-old PtoLAC14-OE transgenic lines and wild type (WT); scale bar is 10 cm. b Plant height in the PtoLAC14-OE transgenic lines and WT during time course of 6 months. c Plant height in PtoLAC14-OE transgenic lines and WT of 6-month-old. d Observation of stem diameter in PtoLAC14-OE transgenic lines and WT of 6-month-old. e Stem diameter in the transgenic lines and WT during time course of 6 months. f Stem diameter in PtoLAC14-OE transgenic lines and WT of 6-month-old. g Toluidine blue staining of the 6th internode stems of 6-month-old PtoLAC14-OE lines and WT (Xy: xylem, Xf: xylem fiber cells, Xv: xylem vessel. Scale bar is 100 μm). h Numbers of xylem cell layers (cell files) and lumen area of individual xylem vessel cell and fiber cell. Data represent mean ± SD (n = 10 in b, c, e, f, and n = 30 in h). Student’s t-test was performed between the transgenic lines and WT as **P < 0.01
