Table III.

CspA and CspB transgenic maize plants demonstrate improved end-of-season grain yield under water-limiting conditions

Mean yield values (tons/hectare) of nontransgenic and transgene-positive plots are shown for groupings of CspA and CspB events and for two individual transgenic events from each construct. Experimental details are described in Supplemental Materials and Methods S1.
