Characterization of storage proteins in transgenic and control lines.

<p>A. SDS-PAGE of seed protein extracts from transgenic lines, non-transgenic line and non-transformed control line. Arrow indicates the position of the transgenic Avenin-like b proteins. B. Characterization of storage proteins from the transgenic and control lines. HMW % glutenin and LMW % glutenin mean quantities of HMW-GS and LMW-GS, respectively, expressed relative to total quantity of the glutenins (and the same for 1Dx2%, 1Bx7%, 1By8% and 1Dy12%). HMW/LMW: ratio of the high and low molecular weight glutenin subunits. Glutenin%: quantity of the glutenins expressed relative to total proteins extracted by the sequential extraction methods (and the same for Gliadin %). Glu/Glia: ratio of the glutenins and gliadins. Data are given as mean ± SEM. Values within the same characteristics of storage proteins are not significantly different (P = 0.05).
