Standard deviations were calculated based on the total number of animals (reported in parentheses). Values differing significantly from their controls (lines 1, 5, 9, 13, 17, and 21 for samples 2–4, 6–8, 10– 12, 14–16, 18–20, and 22–24, respectively) are marked with asterisks. *, P < 0.01; **, P < 0.05. The genotypes are explained in the text. nd, not determined.
