Line numbers refer to a ProLRE:LRE-cYFP transformant in the lre-7/lre-7 background containing a single insertion of the ProLRE:LRE-cYFP transgene. Genotype of the transgenic line used is homozygous for the transgene (ProLRE:LRE-cYFP/ProLRE:LRE-cYFP) and heterozygous for the lre-7 mutation (lre-7/+).
Transmission efficiency (TE) was calculated as the ratio of Basta resistance (R) to susceptibility (S) in the progeny of the indicated cross.
χ2 was calculated based on the expectation of a 1:1 segregation of Basta resistance to susceptibility in the progeny of a cross between the wild type and lre-7/+.
Basta-resistant (BastaR) and Basta-susceptible (BastaS) progeny. Basta resistance gene is linked with the T-DNA that is inserted into the LRE gene in lre-7 mutant.
When segregation ratio in row three was compared to that in row two as the expected segregation ratio, the χ2 = 491.31 and P value < 0.001.
