The four genotypes are defined in Figure 1. Plants were grown in Citra, Florida, in the spring of 2006. Total seed numbers and seed weight marked with asterisks designate significant differences at the 5% (*) or 1% (**) level from the cognate nontransgene control. The ratio is the seed number or seed weight of each of the two transgene-containing genotypes as well as the genotype lacking any functional Sh2 alleles divided by the seed number or seed weight of the nontransgenic control containing the functional endogenous Sh2 allele. Averages and ratios of all events were calculated from all individual data. In total, 761 ears and 194,916 kernels were manually scored.
