B. napus expressing the Arabidopsis cpSRP54 gene. (A) Semi-quantitative RT-PCR analysis of cpSRP54 transgene expression in T₁ developing seeds at 34 days post anthesis (DPA). (B) Carotenoid profiles of B. napus seeds from cpSRP54 ⁺ expression lines (T₁), an empty vector control plant, and WT DH12075. [Violaxanthin and zeaxanthin were at trace levels.] (C) Carotenoid gene expression profiles in T₁ transgenic cpSRP54 ⁺ B. napus developing seeds at 34 DPA. Values are mean ± standard error of three replicates. Significant difference was set at P ≤ 0.05 (*) and P ≤ 0.01 (**) relative to DH12075.
