Color phenotypes and carotenoid levels in the seeds of PGD1::OsDXS2_Glb::stPAC and PGD1::OsDXR_Glb::stPAC relative to Glb::stPAC transgenic plants. a Mature seed colors in the homozygous T4 generation were compared among three independent transgenic plants for each construct with stPAC rice seeds 40 days after flowering (DAF) and after polishing. b Carotenoid levels measured by HPLC analysis in the same seeds as in a. All carotenoid content data are displayed as the mean value ± standard error (SE) of three independent measurements. Statistical analyses were performed using a two-tailed Student’s t-test (** p < 0.01, *** p < 0.001 and **** p < 0.0001). NT is a non-transgenic wild type of Oryza sativa L. cv. Ilmi, different varieties of transgenic plants are represented in different colors, such as orange, light-orange and yellow in the bar graph, and the X-axis labeling consists of three independent-transgenic plant lines
