Table 2. Rhizophagus irregularis ( = Glomus intraradices) mycorrhization of transgenic control and CgCCamK knock-down roots.
Number of plants | Mycorrhization frequency (%) | |
TC | 10 | 41.01 (±8.49) |
RNAi-CAM | 20 | 8.09 (±2.14) |
RNAi-UTR | 15 | 5.03 (±1.39) |
Mycorrhization frequency corresponds to the percentage of mycorrhized roots in 10 TC (transgenic control) plants, 20 RNAi-CAM plants and 15 RNAi-UTR plants evaluated using the gridline intercept method. Mycorrhization frequency was calculated using roots harvested 9 weeks post inoculation. Standard errors are in brackets.
