The rice transgenics expressing PsAKR1 gene showed reduced methylgloxal (MG) levels in seeds under ageing conditions. a MG levels in transgenics and wild type seedlings under control and 6 days of accelerated ageing, b Correlation between reduction in MG with increased AKR activity, c Response of wild type and transgenic seedlings to 10 mM and 20 mM MG after 4 days of treatment, d Shoot length of wild type and transgenics seedlings on MG treatment, n = 10. Red and yellow dots represent values for wild type in control and ageing conditions respectively
