  1. SND2-overexpressing (SND2-OV) and empty vector control (EVC) sector values are expressed as a percentage change relative to non-transformed tissues. Measurements were obtained from 11 (SND2-OV) and 9 (EVC) transgenic-nontransgenic control sector pairs from two F1 Eucalyptus hybrids. P values are based on one-tailed Student's t-test.
