Fig. 3From: Knockout of a key gene of the nicotine biosynthetic pathway severely affects tobacco growth under field, but not greenhouse conditionsTobacco plants harboring qpt2 knockout mutations display a severe growth phenotype when grown in a field environment. A Control and mutant lines T8 and T21 in the TN90 background; B Controls and mutant line K19 in the K326 background. Tester and control lines were randomized within rows. Red arrows point to plants homozygous for qpt2 mutations; full-sized plants correspond to control and other entries. Picture was taken 32Â days after transplantBack to article page
