Figure 3: Agronomic traits of JcARF19-overexpressing Jatropha.
From: Manipulation of Auxin Response Factor 19 affects seed size in the woody perennial Jatropha curcas
(a) Flowering time in 10 independent T0 transgenic Jatropha plants overexpressing JcARF19 and wild-type plant Jc-MD. Values are mean ± SD (n = 10), and Student T-test statistic was used for analysis. **Indicates P < 0.01, the same for the below traits analysis. (b) Relative JcARF19 expression level in leaves of T0 generation 35S:JcARF19 transgenic Jatropha lines (JcARF19OE#1, #10 and #13) and wild-type plant Jc-MD. Values are mean ± SD (n = 3). (c) Comparison of branch number of WT plant Jc-MD and ten T0 JcARF19 overexpression lines. Values are mean ± SEM (n = 10). (d) Comparison of seed number per tree per year of WT plant Jc-MD and ten T0 JcARF19OE lines. Values are mean ± SEM (n = 10). (e) Comparison of single seed weight of WT plant Jc-MD and three T0 JcARF19 overexpression (JcARF19OE #1, #10 and #13) line. Values are mean ± SEM (n = 50). (f) Comparison of seed length of WT plant Jc-MD and three JcARF19OE #1, #10 and #13 lines. Values are mean ± SEM (n = 50). (g) Comparison of cell length of WT plant Jc-MD and JcARF19OE #1 line. Values are mean ± SEM (n = 10). (h) Comparison of seed cell number of WT plant Jc-MD and JcARF19OE #1 line. Values are mean ± SEM (n = 10).
