Table I. Total lipid content (% of dry weight) of homozygous transgenic and control leaves harvested 14, 21, and 35 DAS.
Values represent means ± sd from separate analyses (n = 6). Parentheses show P values for statistical significance between the transgenic line and the wild type calculated by Student’s two-tailed t test. N/A, Not available; ns, not significant.
