Fatty acid profiles and fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) contents in leaves of wild type plants and 35S:RcLEC2 transgenic plants (T4 generation). Experiments were carried out in triplicate and fatty acid proportions are expressed as mole percent. Data are means ± SD. Asterisk denotes a significant statistical difference compared with wild-type plants (2 way ANOVA, *P < 0.05).
