Phenotypic Characterization of Transgenic Miscanthus sinensis Plants Overexpressing Arabidopsis Phytochrome B
Figure 5
Phenotypic analyses of transgenic M. sinensis plants overexpressing PHYB. (a) Representative picture of nontransformed control plant (NT) and transgenic M. sinensis plants (T). Blue and red arrows represent the control and transgenic plants, respectively. The pictures were taken on DOY (day of year) 273, and the black arrow indicates the difference of plant heights between the control and transgenic plants. Bar: 20 cm. (b) Measurements of plant heights. Error bars indicate standard deviations (). Statistically significant changes compared with NT are indicated bywhen , using LSD. (c) Measurements of heading and flowering time. Heading and flowering were observed and measured on date (DOY). Error bars indicate standard deviations (). Means with different letters are significantly different at , using Duncan.
