Table 1. Concentrations of Fe and Zn in unpolished and polished grain of WT and transgenic rice.

Genotype Unpolished (µg g−1) Polished (µg g−1) % Fe in polished % Zn in polished
Fe Zn Fe Zn
WT 22 42 4.5 34 21 81
OE- OsNAS1S 47 63 9.7 48 21 76
OE- OsNAS2B 64 91 19 76 30 84
OE- OsNAS2J 54 68 14 52 26 77
OE- OsNAS3B 51 65 9.9 49 19 75

Grain samples from WT, one transgenic line overexpressing OsNAS1 (OE-OsNAS1S), two independent transgenic lines overexpressing OsNAS2 (OE-OsNAS2B and OE-OsNAS2J) and one transgenic line overexpressing OsNAS3 (OE-OsNAS3B) were analyzed by ICP-OES. The percentage of Fe and Zn concentration in polished grain, relative to unpolished grain concentration, is presented in the last two columns of the table.
