Table II. Number of aborted seeds in siliques from heterozygous cac1a-1 and wild-type sibling plants.
For each genotype, 10 siliques from each of 10 individual sibling plants were examined. Therefore, in total, 100 siliques of each genotype were examined. χ2 test shows that the difference between the two proportions is statistically significant (P value < 0.001).
Genotype | Aborted | Normal | Total |
cac1a-1/CAC1A | 551 (18.5%) | 2,429 (81.5%) | 2,980 |
CAC1A/CAC1A | 70 (2.1%) | 3,245 (97.9%) | 3,315 |
