Fig. 2

Plants were grown for 20 weeks in the greenhouse. a Growth curve of wild type and CCR2(−/*) line 12. No significant differences in height were found between the wild type (individual values shown in white dots) and CCR2(−/*) line 12 (individual values shown in gray dots) at the 0.01 significance level (two-tailed Student’s t-test). For mean values and exact P values, see Supplementary Table 1. b Phenotype of representative wild type and CCR2(−/*) line 12 after growing for 20 weeks in the greenhouse. Scale bar = 20 cm. c Phenotype of debarked wild-type and CCR2(−/*) line 12 stems grown in the greenhouse for 20 weeks. CCR2(−/*) line 12 stems display the red xylem phenotype. Scale bar = 10 mm. Wild type, n = 10 biologically independent samples; CCR2(−/*) line 12, n = 11 biologically independent samples. The source data underlying (a) are provided as a Source data file.
