WE and TAG content of MaFAR/MaWSD2, clMaFAR/clMaWSD2, MaFAR/MaWSD5 and clMaFAR/clMaWSD5 seeds. Absolute WE (a) and TAG (b) amounts in mg/g seed were obtained by GC-FID analysis. Both values were used to calculate their relative content in mass% (c). Each bar represents the mean of three independent plant lines per construct determined in three extraction replicates (+ SD). Analysis of variance (ANOVA) revealed no significant differences in absolute and relative WE and TAG contents between the constructs. For the data from each plant line, see Additional file 3. The raw data are provided in Additional file 4. Analyzed wild-type A. thaliana seeds contained 323 mg TAG/g seed (mean of three extraction replicates, SD: 17 mg TAG/g seed)
