Phenotypic analysis of the wild type and the PttSCAMP3 RNAi lines. Wood density at the base of the stem (a), stem volume (b) and stem dry weight (c) in two-months-old greenhouse grown trees. Representative images of the stems of six-month-old wild type (d) and PttSCAMP3 RNAi line 3 (e) trees. f-g Light microscopy images of toluidine blue stained transverse sections taken from the base of the stems of two-months-old greenhouse grown wild type (f) and PttSCAMP3 RNAi line 3 (g) trees. H. Thickness of the cork in the wild type and the PttSCAMP3 RNAi lines at the base of the stems of two-months-old greenhouse grown trees. Asterisks indicate significant differences from the wild type at P < 0.01 (**) according to a Welch-corrected t-test. The volume of the stem is estimated with the formula volume = π · radius2 · height / 3. Vertical bars indicate ± SD. n = 5
