3.2. Mutations of BnFUS3 affect seed storage product accumulation
To investigate the effects of BnFUS3 on storage product accumulation,
fully mature dry seeds collected from the three TILLING
lines were analyzed by NIR. Compared to the wild type (WT), total
seed oil content was significantly decreased in all mutant (M1-3)
lines, while protein levels increased (Fig. 1). Similar profiles were
obtained during the other growing seasons in the greenhouse and
