Growth Phenotype of 10-Week-Old Antisense Succinate Dehydrogenase Tomato Plants.

Transgenic plants showed an enhanced aerial biomass with respect to the wild type in the later stages of growth. Height of plant (A); internode length (B); total plant dry weight (C); total leaf dry weight (D); total stem dry weight (E); total fruit dry weight (F); total root dry weight (G); and mean fruit weight (H). The lines used were as follows: the wild type (WT), black bars; SDH14, white bars; SDH43, dark-gray bars; SDH52, light-gray bars. Values are presented as means ± se of six individual plants per line; an asterisk indicates values that were determined by the Student’s t test to be significantly different (P < 0.05) from the wild type.
