Highest mean fresh weight concentrations of eCry3.1Ab in 5307 plants grown at 3 locations in Illinois and 1 location in Minnesota

Tissuea	Highest mean at any site (μg eCry3.1Ab/g fresh wt.)	Growth stage
Leaf	51.74	Maturity
Kernel	5.53	Maturity
Root	6.48	Whorl
Pollen	0.22b	Anthesis
Whole plant	18.62	Whorl
Whole plant	4.89	Senescence

^aFor leaf, kernel, root, pollen and whole plant, N = 5 plants for each location

^bPollen samples collected from Illinois and Minnesota showed eCry3.1Ab concentrations either equal to or less than the LOQ (0.1 μg eCry3.1Ab/g dry weight pollen). Pollen collected from 5307 maize plants grown in Brazil showed higher levels of eCry3.1Ab in pollen than previously measured from the locations in Illinois and Minnesota. To be conservative the highest mean concentration measured in the Brazilian field trial (1 location) has been used here to calculate the EEC
