Transmission electron micrographs of stem sections of WT, irx9, irx14 and MlGT43 complemented plants. Stems of eight-week-old plants were cut into 70 nm-thick sections and observed with transmission electron microscope, indicating increased fiber and vessel wall thickness by expression of MlGT43 genes. a, Transmission electron micrographs of stem sections of MlGT43 complemented irx9 lines. b, Transmission electron micrographs of stem sections of MlGT43 complemented irx14 lines. At least two homozygous lines of MlGT43 complemented irx9 or irx14 were used in the analysis. ve, vessels, xf, xylary fibers. Bar = 5 μm
