Seeds were derived from self-pollination. Plants were grown in Citra, Florida, in the spring of 2008. Total seed numbers marked with asterisks designate significant differences at the 5% (*) or 1% (**) level from the cognate nontransgene control. The ratio is the seed or ovary number of each of the transgene-containing genotypes divided by the seed or ovary number of the nontransgenic control containing the functional endogenous Sh2 allele. Ovaries were counted on 61 transgene-containing and 34 control ears. Seeds were counted on 45 transgene-containing and 29 control ears. Averages and ratios of all events were calculated from all individual data.
