Data, including S.E., were obtained from at least five 2-week-old primary leaves. “T2-1”represented “one line of secondgeneration lines from wild type transformed with1300-TMM construct” and so on.The superscript letters represent statistical significance at p<0.05 (Duncan test), and values with the same letter are not statistically different.
