Summary data for transformation experiments for the pioneer Zea may L. inbred lines PHR03, PHH5G, and PH1V69 after transformation with a T-DNA containing Zm-PLTPpro::Bbm plus either Nospro::Wus2 (PHP79065) or Zm-Axig1::Wus2 (PHP79066), showing the number of immature embryos infected with Agrobacterium tumefaciens, the resulting number of T0 plants sampled for PCR, the transformation frequency ((number T0 plants ÷ initial number of Embryo) × 100), the number of plants that were single copy for the transgenes (quality events based on qPCR) and the final frequency of usable quality events (single copy with no backbone relative to the original number of starting immature embryos). For each inbred, replicates are indicated in separate rows, with each row reflecting immature embryos harvested from a single ear
