Triacylglycerol (TAG) extraction efficiencies from fresh transgenic leaf tissue obtained with solvents of different polarity. Subsequent Bligh and Dyer extractions were performed on the fresh leaf samples to recover any residual lipid and to determine overall extraction efficiency. Extraction efficiencies are calculated using the formula 100 × % lipid extracted/combined yield following extraction with acetone and subsequent BD. Error bars represent standard deviations (n = 3).
