Table 4.

Concentrations of total cysteine and methionine in mature F2 seeds of crosses between a transgenic lupin expressing SSA and either a strong SAT-overexpressing transgenic lupin (SAT 5B3) or a control (TC Con, a negative segregant from transgenic event 5F1)

Sample Sulphur amino acid (μmol g−1 FW)
Sulphur amino acid (% of total amino acid)
Total Cys Total Met Total Cys Total Met
cv Kalya 31.7 15.3 1.08 0.66
TC Con×SSA 32.9 23.3 1.06 0.98
SAT 5B3×SSA 32.5 24.0 1.10 0.97

Values are the mean of determinations on hydrolysed flour from pools of at least 7 g of mature F2 seed for each of two plants per genotype. The SDs of the measurements were ≤8%. Flour samples contained ∼12% moisture (i.e. dry weight ∼88% of FW).

Cys, cysteine; Met, methionine.
