Table IX.
Mn-SOD activity as a percentage of total SOD activity in tissues of transgenic alfalfa plants expressing pMitSOD or pChlSOD
| Tissue | Control | pMitSOD | pChlSOD |
|---|---|---|---|
| % | |||
| Leaf | 22 | 17 | 29 |
| Crown bud | 16 | 21 | 28 |
| Crown | 21 | 33 | 31 |
| Taproot | 14 | 27 | 25 |
| Mean | 18 | 26 | 28 |
Activities were measured on plants taken from the field on November 19, 1997. lsd at the 5% level of probability = 14; n = 3. Average Mn-SOD activity = 1398 units g−1 protein.
