Greenhouse growth and plant phenotypes for semi-glabrous B. napus cv Westar (W), hairy AtGL3+ B. napus (AtGL3+), ultra-hairy K-5-8 (BnTTG1 knock-down in AtGL3+ B. napus), and glabrous or moderately hairy O-3-7 (BnTTG1 over-expression in AtGL3+ B. napus). a Plant height over a 7 week period with glabrous T3 O-3-7 plants (size bar represents 1 cm). b Growth phenotypes (with glabrous T3 O-3-7) at 8 weeks. Means (+ SE) of six plants per line with different letters are significantly different at P ≤ 0.05. C,D. Unstable growth and trichome phenotypes in O-3-7 plants. c T3 O-3-7 seedlings growing in panel B, showing glabrous leaves (left adaxial; right abaxial) and glabrous stems. d. T4 O-3-7 revertants with two different phenotypes (larger/healthy plants with moderately hairy leaves and small/unhealthy with poor viability and leaf hair density somewhat higher than Westar)
