| Rosette (cm2) | Root length (cm) | ||
| AtSUC2 +/+a | 11.21 ± 1.98 | 5.23 ± 0.25 | |
| AtSUC2 +/-a | 9.22 ± 0.76 | n.d.d | |
| AtSUC2 -/-a | 0.28 ± 0.08bc | 0.15 ± 0.10b | |
| Best 4 lines | Representative line | Representative line | |
| SUC2p::cSUC2a | 7.23 ± 1.41b | 9.34 ± 1.26 (1039) |
5.60 ± 0.70 |
| CoYMVp::cSUC2 | 7.86 ± 1.26b | 7.46 ± 2.00b (1070) |

Measurement of rosette area (cm2) 21 days after germination among control and independently transformed lines grown on potting mix, and root length of representative lines grown for 16 days on sterile MS media without sucrose. Variation is standard deviation, n = 3 to 10 sibling plants.
