Phenotypic analysis of 35S:SVP2 transgenic tobacco

Data are presented as means and the SE of six individuals for each lines. Days for seed germination were recorded as days from sterilization to visible germination on MS plates. Total leaf number was counted when the first floral bud was visible. Plant height was expressed as centimetres when the first visible floral bud appeared. Total number of flowers and sterile flowers were counted on inflorescences

Transgenic Lines	Seed germination (d)	Total leaf number	Plant height (cm)	Total number of flowers	Number of sterile flowers
Line 1	11 ± 2.3	18.7 ± 0.4	42.5 ± 3.3	26.1 ± 1.2	21.0 ± 2.5
Line 2	13 ± 1.2	20.0 ± 1.2	31.1 ± 1.1	32.5 ± 1.5	27.7 ± 4.1
Control 1	7 ± 0.0	19.3 ± 0.4	56.6 ± 3.6	28.0 ± 2.5	13.5 ± 1.6
Control 2	7 ± 0.0	22.3 ± 0.4	49.0 ± 2.1	34.0 ± 2.5	14.5 ± 0.5
