Table II. Seed sugar composition, protein and lipid content, and seed weight in Aterdl6 mutants.
Values refer to the dry weight of mature seeds and represent means ± se of biological replicates. Independent experiments were performed for the analysis of sugars (n = 4), proteins (n = 5), lipids (n = 3), thousand seed weight (n = 8), seeds per silique (n = 18), and seed weight per plant (n = 7). Percentages given in parentheses are relative to the corresponding wild-type values, which were set to 100%.
