Figure 6.
Chemical properties of starch from wild-type (WT) and transgenic high oil (HO) potatoes by differential scanning calorimetry. Onset temperature (To; A), conclusion temperature (Tc; B), peak temperature (Tp; C) and enthalpy of transition (ΔH; D). Asterisks indicate significant differences between WT and HO (t-test: *p < 0.05; **p < 0.01). Representative profiles for a WT (dashed line), a medium TAG line (1.63% TAG; solid line) and the highest oil plant (3.35% DW TAG; dotted line) are also shown (E).
