Table 1. Effects of mutations in YUC2 and YUC6 on male transmission frequency.
Parental Genotype (Male × Female) | Progeny | total | TE | χ2 | |||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
yuc2 +/- | yuc2 +/+ | yuc6 +/- | yuc6 +/+ | ||||
yuc2 -/- yuc6 +/- × WT | 172 | 84 | 88 | 172 | 95.50% | 0.093 (p>0.05) | |
yuc2 +/- yuc6 -/- × WT | 91 | 86 | 177 | 177 | 105.80% | 0.141 (p>0.05) |
Transmission efficiencies (TE) = number of progenies with T-DNA insertion/number of progenies without T-DNA insertion. Expected values were based on the prediction that if the double mutant alleles were transmitted normally, about 50% of the progeny should receive the yuc2yuc6 knockout allele from the yuc2-/- yuc6+/- or yuc2-/+ yuc6-/- parents.
