Table I. Oil content in T3 transgenic rapeseed seeds (% dry weight).
Mature seeds were used for the analysis of the oil content by the Soxhlet method. Numbers refer to the transgenic line numbers. Asterisks indicate statistically significant differences compared with the control (Student's t test: *P < 0.05; **P < 0.01).
