Growth characteristics of transgenic tobacco plants expressing AaPEPC1. (a) Phenotypes of transgenic plants expressing AaPEPC1 (OE1 and OE2) as well as empty vector (EV), and wild-type plants (WT), grown in pots for 6 weeks under well-watered conditions. (b) Dry weight (shoot and root) of transgenic plants and WT. Values represent means ± SD (n = 3). * and ** indicate significant difference from that of WT at p < 0.05 and p < 0.01, respectively, by one-way ANOVA analysis with post-hoc Tukey HSD.
