Fig. 3

Mean trichome densities across the first to sixth leaves on three week-old seedlings of hairy AtGL3+ B. napus (AtGL3+) and ultra-hairy K-5-8 (BnTTG1 knock-down in AtGL3+ B. napus). Leaf edge (cm−1); Adaxial leaf surfaces (per cm−2); Abaxial surfaces on the mid vein (per cm); Leaf petioles (1 cm length). Trichome densities were measured on three randomly selected positions per leaf surface (for each of three independent plants per line). Seedlings were evaluated two weeks after germination (having first and second leaves) and three weeks after germination (having third to sixth leaves). A Tukey test was carried out between each of the plant lines for each leaf. Significantly different means (± SE) for three plants per line are indicated for each leaf by different numbered letters (P ≤ 0.05, comparison is only between individual numbered leaves of the two lines, not between differently numbered leaves)
