percentage of deviating plants1 |

|
| Deviations from wild-type for any morphological characteristic |
16.2% |
| - Plant structure (less compact than wild-type, fluffy) |
13.1% |
| - Color (darker or lighter than wild-type) |
8.0% |
| - Coverage of plant by gametophores (coverage less than 95%; wild-type: completely covered) |
8.0% |
| - Leaf shape (width/length ratio or symmetry different from wild type) |
12.3% |
| - Cell shape (irregular patterns, or cell size different than wild-type) |
10.1% |
| - Uniformity of leaves (more than 10% deviating on one plant, wild-type: all uniform) |
6.3% |
|
1Transformants were assayed independently for the phenotypic alterations shown, some plants deviated from the wild-type in more than one characteristic. The percentages shown for single characteristics therefore add up to more than the total percentage of deviating plants. | |
