Table 1. Heritability and paramutagenicity of transgene-induced B'# silencinga.
| Transgenic construct | Transgenic event | Heritability of B'# as determined by phenotype of non-transgenic B'#/b-N plants | Paramutagenicity of B'# as determined by phenotype of non-transgenic (B'∧ or B-I)/B'# plants | ||||||
| One generation with transgeneb | Two generations with transgenec | One generation with transgened | Two generations with transgenee | ||||||
| Total Plants | Frequency of light plants | Total Plants | Frequency of light plants | Total Plants | Frequency of light plants | Total plants | Frequency of light plants | ||

a
Crossing scheme to test B'# heritability and paramutagenicity is shown in Figure S2; the data are summarized in this table.
b
Heritability of B'# after one generation in the presence of the transgene.
c
Heritability of B'# after two generations in the presence of the transgene.
d
Paramutagenicity of B'# after one generation in the presence of the transgene.
e
Paramutagenicity of B'# after two generations in the presence of the transgene.
Nt, not tested because paramutation was already 100% after one generation with the transgene.
