Starch granules development in the flo14 mutant. a-d Scanning electron microscope (SEM) analysis of the endosperm in wild-type (WT) (a, c) and flo14 mutant (flo14) (b, d) seeds. e-h Semi-thin sections of wild-type and flo14 mutant seeds. The central part of 12 days after flowering (DAF) in the wild-type endosperm cells (e-f) and the central part of mutant flo14 endosperm cells (g-h). i Starch content of wild type and flo14 mutant (n = 3 each). j Amylose content of wild type and flo14 mutant (n = 3 each). Data are shown as means ± SD (from at least three independent samples) and was compared with wild type by Student’s t-test (* P <0.05). NS: no obviously changed. Scale bars: 0.5 mm in (a, b), 15 μm in (c, d), 100 μm in (e, g), 200 μm in (f, h)
