Metabolic analysis of TkSQS1‐RNAi and TkSQE1‐RNAi plants. Squalene and 2,3‐oxidosqualene levels in freeze‐dried root material were determined by GC‐MS in (a) TkSQS1‐RNAi (n = 10 from six independent lines) and corresponding control plants (n = 7) and in (b) TkSQE1‐RNAi (n = 11 from four independent lines) and corresponding control plants (n = 6). Pentacyclic triterpene and sterol levels in freeze‐dried root material determined by GC‐MS in (c) TkSQS1‐RNAi (n = 10 from six independent lines) and corresponding control plants (n = 7) and in (d) TkSQE1‐RNAi (n = 11 from four independent lines) and corresponding control plants (n = 6). Pentacyclic triterpenes = taraxerol, α‐amyrin, β‐amyrin, lupeol and taraxasterol; sterols = campesterol, stigmasterol and γ‐sitosterol. Asterisks denote statistical significance compared to control (two‐tailed t test, ** = p < 0.01, *** = p < 0.001)
