Table 2. Gene flow based on sampled trees within plots for the mixed variety plots (M1–M3), and the sentinel plots (S1–S5) from 2000–2010.
Plot | Range of distance from sampled trees to GE plot (m) | Number of unique trees sampled | Total number of trees sampled | Number of sampled trees with GUS positive embryos | Total Number of embryos sampled | Total Number of GUS Positive embryos | Range of proportion of GUS positive embryos per sampled tree |
M1 | 384.3–384.8 | 20 | 52 | 4 | 3385 | 4 | 0–0.022 |
M2 | 478.2–490.0 | 3 | 7 | 1 | 918 | 2 | 0–0.004 |
M3 | 975.7–1032.8 | 18 | 29 | 1 | 4192 | 3 | 0–0.012 |
S1 | 131.8–132.3 | 3 | 8 | 4 | 1802 | 26 | 0–0.122 |
S2 | 468.5–479.5 | 3 | 7 | 2 | 686 | 2 | 0–0.012 |
S3 | 495.6–501.7 | 2 | 5 | 0 | 691 | 0 | 0 |
S4 | 768.7–774.4 | 2 | 6 | 0 | 440 | 0 | 0 |
S5 | 853.6 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 21/ | 0 | 0 |
Low seed number was due to the absence of self and cross compatibility of sentinel trees and lack of gene flow from compatible plums outside of the S5 plot (GE or non-GE).
