a Values are means ±SE (n = 60) or means ±SE of n = 60 for three independent transgenic lines (180 siliques in total) for L. er/pER::ER and flp-7/pER::ER.
b Defined as small white ovules with no evidence of embryo or seed development.
*Values that are significantly different from the wild type at P < 0.05. **Values that are significantly different from the wild type at P < 0.01. ***Values that are significantly different from L. er/pER::ER at P < 0.05. ****Values that are significantly different from L. er/pER::ER at P < 0.01.
