  1. Values are calculated as [(T/E)*100] to determine the ratio of transgene transcript levels to its corresponding endogenous gene expressed in control plants, where T = Average gene levels in transgenic plants and E = Average corresponding endogenous gene level in control plants. For endogenous genes, percentage expression in transgenic cf. control plants were calculated.
