Altered GS-OX activity in the FMOGS-OX4 T-DNA mutant

GSL content in seeds and leaves was analyzed. All plants were segregants derived from a parental line heterozygous for the T-DNA knockout allele. MT:(MS + MT) represents the S-oxygenation activity for the conversion from MT GSL to MS GSL. This T-DNA mutant is in a wild-type Col-0 background.

a

Number of individual lines measured per genotype class.

b

Mean value of MT:(MS + MT).

c

Standard error for the mean value.

d

P value for GSL differences between the two genotypes as determined by ANOVA.

e

Nonsignificant P values (P > 0.05).

f

Given GSL was not detectable; therefore, no statistical analyses were conducted.
