Komatsuna	Brassica rapa L. var. perviridis cv. Komatsuna	1.11ns ± 0.22
Onion	Allium cepa L.	1.16ns ± 0.23
Broccoli	Brassica oleracea L.	1.60∗∗ ± 0.11
Japanese radish	Raphanus sativus L.	1.44∗∗ ± 0.32
Edible flower	Brassica rapa L. var. nippo-oleifera	1.83∗∗ ± 0.25

The transgenic flies were fed with a vegetable diet, and green fluorescent protein (GFP) signals in the salivary gland nuclei of the third-instar larvae were detected. The GFP intensity was analyzed using the MetaMorph software and was subtracted by that of the background signal; then the GFP intensity of the vegetable group relative to that of the control group was calculated. n = 6 for each sample. ^∗ p < 0.05. ^∗∗ p < 0.01. ^nsNot significant.
