Expression levels of the Arabidopsis endogenous AtSAD genes in mature seeds. a, SSI2/FAB2. b, S-ACP-DES1. c, S-ACP-DES2. d, S-ACP-DES3. e, S-ACP-DES4. f, S-ACP-DES5. g, S-ACP-DES6. In each transgenic line, approximately 0.1 g mature seeds collected from 18 plants were used for total RNA isolation. The expression levels of the seven Arabidopsis endogenous AtSAD were determined by qRT-PCR. Expression levels were calculated using the Arabidopsis actin1 gene 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
