1NPTII protein in pg/mg fresh weight ± SD based on ELISA. The protein activity measurement was repeated three times for each protein sample.
2First evaluation was performed on transgenic lines after selection on medium containing selective antibiotics. 3Second evaluation was performed on transgenic lines after four years of subculture on medium without selective agents.
4Class of staining pattern for ten individual leaves in each transgenic line. Class 1: tissue completely dark blue or blue coloured; class 2: the major part (70-80%) of the tissue is blue, partially small white spots; class 3: tissue completely light blue coloured; class 4: the major part (70-80%) is white, partially small blue spots; class 5: tissue completely white.
5The GUS assay was performed on transgenic lines after four years of subculture on medium without selective agents.
6Non-transformed ‘Pinova’.
