  1. At least two independent transgenic lines for each construct were used for measurement. WT, irx9, and irx14 were included for comparison. Eight-week-old plants for each background were used for analysis. Wall thickness was measured from transmission electron micrographs of fibers and vessels. Data are means (μm) ± SE from 20 cells
