Carotenoid levels in transgenic tomato with suppressed LeChrC expression versus control plants

Carotenoid content in stage 3 flowers and young leaves of T2 plants were measured in LeChrC RNAi (independent lines 11, 13, 21, and 37), control transgenic with no suppression (line 19), and control nontransgenic (WT) tomatoes. Means of four replicates ±se are presented.

Line	Carotenoid in Corollas	Carotenoid in Leaves

21	4.6 ± 0.1	0.21 ± 0.02
11	4.4 ± 0.1	0.22 ± 0.01
37	4.3 ± 0.2	0.21 ± 0.02
13	4.1 ± 0.3	0.22 ± 0.01
19	5.8 ± 0.2	0.22 ± 0.02
WT	6.0 ± 0.3	0.23 ± 0.02
