Figure 5.

Tobacco transgenic lines overexpressing CsMIXTA generated more trichomes than wt. (A) Average number of glands on the glandular trichomes per mm², observed by intrinsic fluorescence as shown in Figure 4G–I. (B) Average trichome number per mm², obtained from SEM images in Figure 4A–C. Averages taken from 3 biological reps (n = 3) for each transgenic line and wt. * indicates p < 0.05, which was determined using Student t-test by comparing the two transgenic lines to wt.
