Improved growth performance of transgenic poplar plants grown in a growth room. Growth performance was analyzed using 60-day-grown poplar plants. a Overall growth of transgenic poplar plants (DX15::PdGA20ox1-2A-PtrMYB3) compared to WT plants. Representative photographs of six independent transgenic lines (3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 9) and WT plants are shown. b Improved growth of transgenic poplars. Stem height (top), diameter (middle), and fresh weight (bottom) were measured (see, methods). Error bars indicate S.D. (n = 3). c Expression of PdGA20ox1-2A-PtrMYB3 transcript in transgenic poplar plants. RT-qPCR was performed using cDNA templates generated from stem total RNAs. PtrActin2 was used as the internal quantitative control. Unpaired Student’s t-test, P-value * (P < 0.05), ** (P < 0.01), *** (P < 0.001)
