Suppression of AGPase in camelina seed reduced AGPase activity and starch content. a Schematic representation of the RNAi construct for the CsAPS genes. b The levels of CsAPS gene expression detected by semi-quantitative RT-PCR at 12 DAF. c Specific activity of AGPase in 12 DAF developing seeds. d Starch content in seeds at 12 DAF, and e 16 DAF. f Starch content in seed coat, and g embryos of 12DAF seeds. Starch contents were based on fresh weight of seeds or tissues. Data were obtained from three replicas of Suneson and three independent transgenic lines (AL2, AL7 and AL16). Significant changes from Suneson are marked with asterisks (P < 0.5)
