  1. Seed length, width, thickness, and weight, n = 8; total protein content, n = 3. Values represent means ± standard deviation. NT, non-transgenic Koshihikari; Major, the rice lines with reduced levels of the major allergens; HMW, the rice lines with reduced levels of the HMW allergens (endosperm and embryo-specific suppression); Major x HMW, the rice lines with reduced levels of the major and the HMW allergens.
