Statistical Analysis of ICK4/KRP6-RNAi/rhf1a rhf2a Siliques Compared with Wild-Type Plants
| Developed Seeds | Aborted Ovules | Percentage of Aborted Ovules | Silique Length | Developed Seeds per Silique | Total Ovules per Silique | Seed Set | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Wild type | 1314 | 11 | 0.8% | 1.49 ± 0.04 | 53 ± 1.77 | 53 ± 1.77 | 1.00 | |
| ICK4/KRP6-RNAi/rhf1a rhf2a | Wild type-like (48%) | 3214 | 26 | 0.8% | 1.51 ± 0.03 | 54 ± 1.56 | 54 ± 1.56 | 1.00 |
| Weak (28%) | 1645 | 70 | 4.1% | 1.37 ± 0.06 | 45 ± 2.23 | 47 ± 3.05 | 0.96 | |
| Medium (16%) | 651 | 309 | 32.2% | 1.18 ± 0.15 | 32 ± 3.26 | 47 ± 1.27 | 0.68 | |
| Severe (8%) | 191 | 296 | 60.8% | 1.00 ± 0.11 | 19 ± 1.12 | 48 ± 1.23 | 0.39 |
All the measurements were performed with the first five siliques on the 6-week-old plants. For wild-type plants, the samples were from five independent plants. For ICK4/KRP6-RNAi/rhf1a rhf2a double mutants, the samples were from 25 transgenic plants. Mean ± sd is shown. Seed set: normally developed seeds per silique/total ovules per silique.
