a
Developing seeds from siliques obtained from self-pollinated parental plants were analyzed under stereoscope.
b
Numbers of defective yellowish/pale green developing ovules that turned into aborted, shrunken, red seeds; segregation frequencies are indicated in parentheses.
c
Numbers of wild-type-looking green developing ovules that turned into normal mature brown seeds; segregation frequencies are indicated in parentheses.
