Table II.
Phenotypic ratios of maturing seeds produced by homozygous (lpaat1/lpaat1) and heterozygous (LPAAT1/lpaat1) plants transformed with 35S:LPAAT1 or 35S:LPAAT1(-TP) The copy no. of 35S:LPAAT1 or 35S:LPAAT1(-TP) per haploid genome in each transformant is unknown. The nos. of normal seeds and abnormal seeds (white, transparent seeds to become shrunken seeds upon silique maturation) from five siliques of each plant line are shown.

Five other transformants also produced normal/abnormal seeds in the ratio of 3:1; these data are not shown
