Growth parameters observed in dapat plants

Parameter	WT	dapat
Rosette diameter (mm)	41.9 ± 1.2	18.8 ± 1.3

Plants deficient in lysine biosynthesis showed a reduced aerial biomass with respect to the wild-type (WT) during vegetative growth (4 weeks old). Values are presented as mean ±SE of at least 13 independent biological replicates per genotype; bold indicates values that were determined by Student’s t-test to be significantly different (P<0.05) from the WT.
