Fig. 4From: Overexpression of the Barley Nicotianamine Synthase Gene HvNAS1 Increases Iron and Zinc Concentrations in Rice GrainsFe and Zn concentrations in T2 seeds obtained from plants cultured in small pots fertilized with nutrient solution. T2 seeds from the main tillers of NT, 35S-HvNAS1 (35S), and OsActin1-HvNAS1 (AN1, AN2, and AN3) lines were harvested and subjected to metal concentration analysis. a Fe concentration in polished rice seeds. b Zn concentration in polished rice seeds. c Fe concentration in brown rice seeds. d Zn concentration in brown rice seeds. e Fe concentration in bran. f Zn concentration in bran. g Fe concentration in hulls. h Zn concentration in hulls. The data represent the mean ± standard error of six independent pots. Distinct letters above the bars indicate significant differences (p < 0.05).Back to article page
