Stem water potential and xylem vessel cell numbers of WT, PdC3H17OE, and PdC3H17ΔCOE poplars. (A) Statistical analysis of stem water potential of 4-month-old WT, PdC3H17OE (17OE), and PdC3H17ΔCOE (17ΔCOE) poplars under well-watered and drought stress conditions for 20 days. (B) Statistical analysis of the numbers of stem xylem vessel cells in 3-month-old WT, 17OE, and 17ΔCOE poplars. At least six plants from two lines in each genotype were selected for measurement of stem water potential and xylem vessel cells. Data are presented as mean ± SD. Different letters above bars denote statistical significance between treatments of samples (P < 0.05). (C) Basal stem sections of 3-month-old representative WT, PdC3H17OE, and PdC3H17ΔCOE plants. Bars = 100 μm.
