Table 2. ap2 mutants produce large seeds.
| Genotype | Seed weight* | Total seed weight, mg | Flower no. | Elongated silique no. | Seed weight per silique, mg | Seeds per silique |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Wild type | 2.1 ± 0.1A | 62 ± 1.9 | 53 ± 2.3 | 53 ± 2.3 | 1.2 ± 0.03 | 56 ± 1.7 |
| ap2-5 | 2.3 ± 0.1B | 45 ± 2.7 | 44 ± 3.7 | 40 ± 2.7 | 1.1 ± 0.03 | 49 ± 1.3 |
| ap2-6 | 3.8 ± 0.2C | 17 ± 7.7 | 57 ± 5.0 | 21 ± 8.4 | 0.80 ± 0.29 | 23 ± 8.1 |
| ap2-7 | 4.0 ± 0.3C,D | 3.0 ± 2.3 | 53 ± 5.2 | 5.2 ± 2.8 | 0.60 ± 0.27 | 16 ± 7.4 |
| ap2-11 | 4.0 ± 0.1D | 4.5 ± 1.8 | 51 ± 1.0 | 7.3 ± 1.9 | 0.63 ± 0.28 | 16 ± 7.1 |
All values pertain to the primary inflorescence. Plants were grown concurrently under identical conditions. Similar results were obtained in an independent experiment that was performed in a different season of the year. Means ± SD are shown.

Weight of seeds produced on primary inflorescence is given in mg per 100 seeds. Seed weight values that differ at the 0.05 significance level are labeled with different letters. Seed weights for ap2-6 and ap2-7 and values for ap2-7 and ap2-11 are not significantly different
