Table 3. Chiasmata counts.
| WT | RAD51-GFP | P | significant? | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Chr 1 | 2.4±0.11 | 2.37±0.11 | 0.957 | no |
| Chr 2 | 1.55±0.14 | 1.63±0.11 | 0.957 | no |
| Chr 3 | 1.75±0.10 | 1.95±0.05 | 0.383 | no |
| Chr 4 | 1.4±0.11 | 1.58±0.12 | 0.725 | no |
| Chr 5 | 2.2±0.09 | 2.16±0.09 | 0.957 | no |
| all | 9.3 ± 0.11 | 9.7 ± 0.15 | 0.0445 | yes* |
Mean (±s.e.m.) numbers of chiasmata per chromosome and per meiosis in WT (N = 20) and RAD51-GFP (N = 19) plants. Adjusted P values (unpaired 2-tailed t-tests, Holm-Sidak method) show no significant differences for the chromosomes taken individually. A small difference of borderline significance is seen in the per-meiosis counts (*unpaired 2-tailed t-test. P = 0.045, t = 2,08 df = 37).
