Results from the self-pollination of these plants are given in Table 3. The three genotypes are listed. Plants were grown in Citra, Florida, in the spring of 2005, and the data are averaged over the three planting dates. The ratio is the seed number or weight of each of the two transgene-containing genotypes divided by the seed number or weight of the nontransgenic control that contains one copy of the functional Sh2 allele. Averages and ratios of all events were calculated from all individual data. The total population was 286 ears and 74,314 kernels.
