Plant lines | Number of positive plant | Number of negative plants | χ2value (for 1:1 segregation) | P |
---|---|---|---|---|
U6-2 | 15 | 13 | 0.14 | 0.70-0.90 |
U6-3 | 10 | 10 | 0.05 | 0.90-0.95 |
U3-2 | 17 | 13 | 0.3 | 0.50-0.70 |
The presence of transgene was determined using PCR. Positive plants: T1 progeny with orfH79 insert, showing a semi-male-sterile phenotype (50% abortion pollens); Negative plants: T1 progeny without orfH79 insert, and showing a fertile phenotype.
