Fig. 8From: Genome-wide characterization of aspartic protease (AP) gene family in Populus trichocarpa and identification of the potential PtAPs involved in wood formationActivities of PtAP66 and PtAP17 promoters in transgenic Arabidopsis. GUS staining was detected in PtAP66promoter::GUS (a-i) and PtAP17promoter::GUS (j-r) transgenic plants. (a-c, j-l) 5-day-old seedlings, their roots and root tips, respectively. (d, m) Aerial parts of 2-week-old seedlings. (e-h, n-q) Inflorescences, siliques, rosette leaves and stem cross-sections of 40-day-old plants, respectively. (i, r) Magnification of stem cross-sections. if, interfascicular fiber; mx, metaxylem. Scale bars indicate 500 μm in a, d-g, j and m-p and 100 μm bars for b, c, h, i, k, l, q and rBack to article page
