Contents of aspartate-related amino acids in wild-type and transgenic plants expressing truncated and full-length Arabidopsis CGS

Amino Acid	Wild Type	Truncated CGS	Full-Length CGS
	mol %
Asp	7.2 ± 4.3	4.9 ± 1.9	5.2 ± 2.8
Thr	2.9 ± 0.8	2.3 ± 1.1	4.1 ± 1.8
Lys	0.9 ± 0.4	1.0 ± 0.2	1.0 ± 0.4
Ile	0.8 ± 0.3	1.2 ± 0.8	1.0 ± 0.7

The amount of each amino acid was determined by HPLC analysis using external calibration standards. Eight plants of each type were analyzed and the data are presented as the mean ± se.
