Overexpression of Cs-UGT78D3 gene promotes proanthocyanidins accumulation in Arabidopsis. a Three individual lines showing the overexpression (OE) of Cs-UGT78D3 gene (b) The OE and EV (empty vector) seed showed distinct color (c) OE seeds showing dark brown color (d) Wild type seeds showing pale yellow color (e) Vanillin assay of OE seed coats showing red color on each segment of seed coat (f) In wild type seed, only seed coats margins showing red color while the rest of seed coat color remained pale yellow (g) Proanthocyanidins were significantly increased in the seed coats. Values are mean of three replicates ± SE and Student’s t-test was used to compare 78D3-OE and WT, p < 0.01. (**) Highly significant. WT: Wild type, EV: Empty vector, OE: Overexpression
