Table II.
Percentage of major essential oil constituents in leaves (L) and flowers (F) of control and transgenic T0 spike lavender plants transformed with the Arabidopsis DXS gene
Reported percentages for transgenic plants represent the means ± sd of four measurements. The control value represents the average of four wild-type plants with four measurements each.
