Table 2.
Total grain N (g), grain percentage N (%), total straw N (g), straw percentage N (%) and N per grain (mg) for overexpressing wheat lines and controls in a greenhouse experiment conducted in 2013. Data shown as mean ± SE; different letters indicate significant difference at 0.05 level, controls are non‐transformed wild type Cadenza, ‘trans control’ is transformed but negative for the transgene
