Expression levels of exogenous ZmSAD1 in various tissues of Arabidopsis. All of the experiments were performed with three biological replicates. In each transgenic line, approximately 0.2 g of roots, stems, and leaves were collected from 6 plants. Approximately 0.1 g petals and 0.2 g immature siliques were collected from 8 transgenic plants from each line. Approximately 0.1 g mature seeds collected from 18 transgenic plants were collected from each line. Total RNA samples were isolated from the above tissues. The expression level of ZmSAD1 was determined by qRT-PCR. The relative transcript levels were calculated using the Arabidopsis actin1 gene (GenBank: NM179953) as the internal reference. Each bar represents the mean ± SD of three independent biological replicates. Student’s t-test was performed. *indicates p < 0.05; **indicates p < 0.01
