Seed Production from Selfing Arabidopsis LPAT2/lpat2 + LPAT2P:LPAT3 cDNA Plants
| Plant (T3) LPAT2/lpat2+LPAT2P:LPAT3-c | Normal Seeds(Normal Embryo) | Abnormal Seeds(Aborted Embryo) | Desiccated Remnant(Aborted Ovules) | Total |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 32 (62%) | 17 (33%) | 3 (5%) | 52 (100%) |
| 2 | 25 (52%) | 18 (38%) | 5 (10%) | 48 (100%) |
| 3 | 20 (43%) | 15 (31%) | 12 (26%) | 47 (100%) |
| 4 | 26 (54%) | 17 (35%) | 5 (11%) | 48 (100%) |
| 5 | 30 (60%) | 16 (32%) | 4 (8%) | 50 (100%) |
| Average | 27 (54%) | 17 (34%) | 6 (12%) | 50 (100%) |
Three types of seeds/ovules were identified in the siliques: normal seeds containing full-size embryos, abnormal seeds containing aborted embryos, and aborted white ovules. Each number represents the average seed or desiccated remnant from five siliques (and proportion in the siliques).
