For each construct, between 32 and 42 plants were regenerated. The * indicates that 34 plants expressed Cas9 but 2 were discarded since they did not contain all 5 sgRNAs. Overall, 78% of plants expressed the Cas9, among which 54% had 1 or 2 copies of the nptII selectable marker gene whereas the remainder contained additional copies of nptII.
