Comparative analysis of agrophysiological traits.
Representative photographs displaying the morphology of WT (a), COE (b) and TOE (c) transgenic lines. Differences in yield (d), weight (e), diameter (f) and number of tubers per plant (g) were analyzed across the WT and transgenic lines. Comparative analyses of leaf area (h), photosynthetic rates (i,l), stomatal conductance (j,m) and rate of transpiration (k,n) were carried out for WT and transgenic lines (COE and TOE). Net photosynthetic activities in untransformed plants were also measured (o). Each bar indicates the mean values ± s.e. (n = 5) and asterisk (*) indicates the level of statistical significance at p < 0.05.
