  1. % indicates percentage of the seed number to the total F2 seed number (397). 26 kDa, 52 kDa, and 26 & 52 kDa indicate the number of the transgenic seeds with reduced level of the 26 kDa, the 52 kDa, and both the 26 kDa and the 52 kDa allergens, respectively. 33 kDa, 14–16 kDa and 63 kDa indicate the number of the seeds with reduced levels of the 33 kDa, the 14–16 kDa and the 63 kDa allergens, respectively, among the transgenic seeds with reduced levels of both the 26 kDa and the 52 kDa allergens (55 seeds). All indicates the number of transgenic seeds with reduced levels of all the major and the HMW allergens.
