Fig. 6: Analysis of procyanidin dimers and trimers in maize seeds expressing GmANR1 or SbTT2.

Selected ion chromatograms of procyanidin dimers in standards and PAs extracted from seeds of untransformed and transgenic maize ST (a), OSA (b), and B104 (c). d Selected ion chromatograms of procyanidin trimers in PAs extracted from seeds of Medicago (Mt), soybean (Gm), untransformed ST maize, and ST maize expressing GmANR1. SD, chemical standards; ST, Suntava maize; ST-GmANR1, transgenic maize seeds obtained from crosses between HiII-GmANR1 and ST; OSA, Osage maize; OSA-GmANR1, transgenic maize seeds obtained from crosses between HiII-GmANR1 and OSA; B1-B4, procyanidin dimers B1-B4 (m/z = 577.1360 ± 10 ppm); iso-B2, procyanidin B2 isomer with (+)-epicatechin as the starter unit; iso-B4, procyanidin B4 isomer with (+)-epicatechin as the starter unit; C1, procyanidin C1 trimer (m/z = 865.1981 ± 10 ppm).
