Morphology and histological analysis of mature leaves of 40 day after sowing. (A) The 12 leaves of the WT and 35S-BrANT-1 transgenic Arabidopsis at 40 day after sowing. Bar = 1 cm. (B) Scanning electron micrographs of the largest rosette leaves of the WT and transgenic 35S-BrANT-1 transgenic Arabidopsis. Bar = 100 μm. (C) The petiole length, leaf length and leaf width of the largest rosette leaves of the WT and transgenic 35S-BrANT-1 transgenic Arabidopsis. Each sample was repeated 20 times. (D) The number of stomata and epidermal cell per unit area (mm2) in the adaxial surface of fully expanded largest leaves of the WT and 35S-BrANT-1 lines. (E) The cell size (μm²) of the epidermal cells in the adaxial surface of fully expanded largest leaves of the WT and 35S-BrANT-1 lines. Each sample was repeated six times, and the error bars represent standard deviations. *Indicates that the expression level is significantly different from that of the control (*p < 0.05, **p < 0.01).
