Phenotypic analyses of rice lse2 and lse3 mutants that exhibit hyperaccumulation of starch in the leaf blades

Rice

Table 1 Segregation ratios of LSE1, LSE2, and LSE3 mutant lines

LSE mutation^a	Number of stain-positive plants	Number of stain-negative plants	Segregation ratio of stain-positive plants	P-Value^b
LSE1	25	84	0.23	0.69
LSE2	36	129	0.22	0.71
LSE3	10	68	0.13	0.01

^aHeterozygously mutated lines were used for this analysis; 109, 165, and 78 seedlings of LSE1, LSE2, and LSE3, respectively, were subjected to iodine staining.
^bProbability calculated by χ²-test when the hypothetical segregation ratio of stain-positive plants is 0.25.
