(a) Comparison of the height, number of twigs, stem diameter, and whole plant dry weight between transgenic lines 55 and 56, expressing high levels of TXS, and the wildtype control lines of A. annua (ck1–6). (b) The weight of a thousand seeds of transgenic and wild A. annua plants (mean ± SD, ). ck1–6: different wildtype plants; 55 and 56: independent transgenic A. annua. (c) The germination capacity (%) of different seeds (mean ± SD, ). ck1–3: three different wildtype lines of A. annua; 55 and 56: lines of independent transgenic A. annua.
