Identification of the defense-related gene VdWRKY53 from the wild grapevine Vitis davidii using RNA sequencing and ectopic expression analysis in Arabidopsis

Table 1 Comparison of leaf tissue thickness between the two Vitis species

Species	Leaf thickness (μm)	Upper epidermis thickness (μm)	Palisade tissue thickness (μm)	Spongy tissue thickness (μm)	Lower epidermis thickness (μm)
Vitis davidii	91.13 ± 7.48^a	12.43 ± 2.15^a	36.44 ± 4.32^a	36.33 ± 7.70^a	7.87 ± 1.72^a
Vitis vinifera	112.78 ± 18.50^a	12.56 ± 2.82^a	42.75 ± 8.53^a	48.98 ± 8.49^a	9.43 ± 1.84^a

Data are the mean ± SD, n = 12. Significant differences were assessed using analysis of variance
