From: SMALL GRAIN 11 Controls Grain Size, Grain Number and Grain Yield in Rice
Overexpression of D2/SMG11 increases grain size due to large cells in spikelet hulls. a b Grains of ZH11, pActin: SMG11#1, pActin: SMG11#2 and pActin: SMG11#3. pActin: SMG11 is ZH11 transformed with pActin: SMG11. c d SEM analysis of the outer surface of ZH11 c and pActin: SMG11#2 d lemmas. e, f SEM analysis of the inner surface of ZH11 e and pActin: SMG11#2 f lemmas. g h i Grain length g grain width h and 1000-grain weight i of ZH11, pActin:SMG11#1, pActin:SMG11#2 and pActin:SMG11#3. j Expression levels of SMG11/D2 in ZH11, pActin:SMG11#1, pActin:SMG11#2 and pActin:SMG11#3 panicles. k The average length of outer epidermal cells in ZH11 and pActin:SMG11#2 lemmas. l The average width of outer epidermal cells in ZH11 and pActin:SMG11#2 lemmas. m The average length of inner epidermal cells in ZH11 and pActin:SMG11#2 lemmas. n The average width of inner epidermal cells in ZH11 and pActin:SMG11#2 lemmas. Values g–n are given as mean ± SD. *P < 0.05 **P < 0.01 compared with ZH11 by Student’s t-test. Bars: 2 mm in a-b 100 μm in c–f
