Supplementary Figure 5: Agronomic harvest data of VIT1 transgenic plants.

(a) Shoot yield, (b) number of roots, (c) harvest index, (d) dry matter content and (e) linamarin concentration of VIT1 transgenic plants and non-transgenic control plants grown in confined field trial conditions. For VIT1, n = 9 biologically independent plants (3 plants/replicate). Box and whisker plots were constructed using the R software package The upper whisker extends from the hinge to the largest value no further than 1.5* IQR from the hinge (where IQR is the inter-quartile range, or distance between the first and third quartiles). The lower whisker extends from the hinge to the smallest value at most 1.5* IQR of the hinge. Data beyond the end of the whiskers are called “outlying” points and are plotted individually. Statistical tests were two-sided using Student’s t-test compared to non-transgenic control. *, **, and *** represent significance levels at p ≤ 0.05, p ≤ 0.01 and p ≤ 0.001 respectively.
