Extended Data Fig. 9: Leaf surface area of the plants at the end of the 2018 growing season.

Extended Data Fig. 9

(a) Mean leaf surface areas of the wild type (WT) and individual transgenic (TG) lines grown in the laboratory (n = 3 plants). (b) Comparison of mean leaf surface area of all WT and TG plants grown on the uncontaminated (No RDX) verses RDX-treated (+ RDX) plots (n = 6 plots) (c) Mean leaf surface areas in the WT and individual TG, N lines grown in the field, independent of the presence of RDX (n = 3 plots). (d) Mean leaf surface areas in the WT and TG lines grown in uncontaminated verses RDX-treated (n = 3 for WT, n= 9 for TG). For all figures, the top and bottom box lines show the first and third quartiles, the line in the middle of each box is the median. The whiskers show the maximum and minimum values.
