Overexpression of a rice BAHD acyltransferase gene in switchgrass (Panicum virgatum L.) enhances saccharification

Table 1 Height and dry weight of the mature wild-type and OsAT10 overexpression switchgrass lines

Plant line	Height (cm) (mean ± SD)	Dry weight (g) (mean ± SD)	N^a
WT^b	201 ± 13	6.6 ± 1.7	20
FT2	174 ± 17^c	4.8 ± 1.3^c	20
FT8	201 ± 18	5.9 ± 1.9	20

^aThe number of tillers used for each line. Four biological replicates were used for each line and five tillers per replicate were used in the measurement
^bWT is the wild-type line. FT2 and FT8 are two independently switchgrass transformant lines overexpressing OsAT10
^cAsterisks indicate significant differences using the unpaired Student’s t-test (P < 0.01)
