Phenotyping of T1 transgenic plants. a Phenotypes of 4 weeks Col-0, ccr1–3, ccr1–3 ProSNBE:CCR1 and transgenic Crispr:CCR1:ProSNBE:ΔCCR1 T1 lines. b Phenotypes of 12-week-old plants of the above lines. c Primary inflorescence stem height and biomass measurements of 12-week-old plants of the above lines. d Lignin deposition in inflorescence stems of the above lines. Transverse stem sections are shown with lignin autofluorescence and Wiesner staining. See Additional file 1: Fig. S4 for photographs of additional T1 plants. Bars = 200 µm. In c, bars represent means and standard deviations, n = 6. Letters above bars indicate statistical significance by one-way ANOVA, p < 0.05
