FvC5SD expression enhances the nutritional value of transgenics.
(a) Total iron content in WT control and transgenic lines (D-3, D-7, D-2, D-11 and D-12) as determined by atomic absorption spectroscopy. Values are mean ± SE (n = 3). (b) Graph showing ratio of C-18 saturated: monounsaturated fatty acids as analyzed by GC-MS based total lipid profiling of tomato fruits from WT and transgenic line D-2. (c) Comparative account of various essential polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) in tomato fruit from WT and transgenic line D-2 as determined by GC-MS. Values are mean ± SE (n = 3). WT, wild type; GC-MS, gas chromatography-mass spectrometry.
