Summary of number of kernels produced per ear and mean dry kernel weight at harvest of 12 putative PR10 RNAi transgenic maize lines.

Line name	Number of kernels per ear	Kernel weight (g)*
A44S1‐1‐1	80	0.155 cd
A44S1‐1‐4	132	0.155 cd
A44S1‐3‐1	149	0.133 d
A44S1‐3‐4	156	0.172 c
A44S1‐5‐2	215	0.139 d
A44S1‐5‐3	201	0.139 d
A44S1‐6‐1	88	0.167 c
A44S1‐15‐3	73	0.239 a
A44S1‐35‐3	102	0.141 d
A44S1‐35‐4	104	0.150 cd
A44S1‐36‐1	127	0.194 b
A44S1‐42‐1	70	0.222 a
HT40917‐1†	174	0.159 cd
HT40917‐3†	95	0.168 c

^* Average kernel weight was based on the measurement of 30 kernels, except for those lines with less than 30 kernels. Means within the column followed by the same letter were not significantly different based on Waller–Dunncan K‐ratio t‐test (at P= 0.05).

^† HT40917‐1 and HT40917‐3 are non‐transgenic Hi II plants pollinated with B73. They were used as negative controls.
