  1. CYPL1–CYPL4 – independent lines of transgenic tobacco plants expressingCYP11A1cDNA; pG1 – plants transformed with an empty vector (not containingCYP11A1cDNA) and K1 – control plants. The data represent average values (± standard deviation) for then= 30 samples
  2. *All these differencies between transgenic (CYPL1-CYPL4) and control (K1 and pG1) lines are statistically valid (P< 0,05)
