From: Constitutive expression of a pea apyrase, psNTP9, increases seed yield in field-grown soybean
Leaves from the 17B transgenic soybean line displays a significant increase in cuticle and wall thickness of epidermal cells compared to wild-type (WT). Analyses of transmission electron microscopy (TEM) images of WT and 17B leaves show (a) an increase in the adaxial and abaxial thickness of the 17B epidermal cell walls compared to WT (adaxial p < 0.001, abaxial p < 0.001) and (b), increase in adaxial and abaxial cuticle thickness of 17B epidermal cells compared to WT (adaxial p < 0.05, abaxial p < 0.001). Data represent means ± SE, based on the Student’s t-test. Representative TEM images (c) of adaxial and abaxial epidermal cells from WT and 17B leaves.
