Morphological characterization, physiological characterization, and related gene expression levels of CsTPR-silencing tea plant. (A) Representative pictures of CsTPR -silencing tea plant. Blank, blank control. 28hBL, control group. CsTPR AS, experimental group for silencing CsTPR expression. CsTPR S, negative control. Scale bar represents 3 cm. (B) PF (the ratio of PDD/FL) and leaf tip expression angle for CsTPR-silencing tea plant. (C) Lignin staining on cross-sections of the middle part in leaf blades midrib of CsTPR -silencing tea plant with phloroglucinol-HCl. Scale bar represents 100 μm. Lines indicated the maximum length of vascular tissue. (D) Maximum length of vascular tissue, cell number in vascular tissue, and single-cell length in vascular tissue for CsTPR-silencing tea plant. (E) Relative expression level of CsTPR, CsEXL3, and CsBES1.2 in CsTPR -silencing tea plant. For (B) and (D), values are means ± SD of six biological replicates. For (E), values are means ± SD of four biological replicates. Statistical analysis was performed with analysis of variance (ANOVA). Bars with different letters indicate significant difference (P < 0.05)..
