Figure 10From: GhWRKY15, a member of the WRKY transcription factor family identified from cotton (Gossypium hirsutumL.), is involved in disease resistance and plant developmentComparison of the growth and development of the transgenic and wild-type tobacco. (A) Seed germination and growth phenotype of transgenic and wild-type tobacco. (B) The growth phenotype of transgenic and wild-type tobacco at approximately 10 weeks. Differences in stem elongation are clearly observable. (C) The height of transgenic and wild-type tobacco from the shooting stage to the flowering stage. (D) Premature flowering of the transgenic plants relative to the wild-type plants. The growth phenotype was photographed at approximately 22 weeks. (E) The phenotype of the bottom leaves of the transgenic and wild-type tobacco at approximately 18 weeks. The figures are a magnification of the red boxes in (E).Back to article page
