Heterologous expression of IbG6PPT1 in A. thaliana alters the starch and soluble sugar content of the plants. a Soluble sugar content and b starch content of the leaves of 6-week-old A. thaliana plants. c Iodine-stained starch in the leaves of 3-week-old seedings. d 1000 seeds weight, e soluble sugar content and f starch content in the seeds of the transgenic and control plants. g and h Iodine-stained starch in the root tips of control and transgenic plants, respectively. Bars: 50 μm. Col-0, control plants; OX-14, OX-30, OX-76, and OX-57, four transgenic lines. Each value is the mean ± SE of at least three independent measurements. “*” represents P value < 0.05, “**” represents P value < 0.01, and “***” represents P value < 0.001
