From: Genetic Dissection and Functional Differentiation of ALKa and ALKb, Two Natural Alleles of the ALK/SSIIa Gene, Responding to Low Gelatinization Temperature in Rice

Fig. 1

Natural variation and three main alleles of ALK gene in rice. a Schematic representation of ALK coding regions and its three main alleles classified by three single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs, shown in red letters) in exon 8. The start (ATG) and stop (TGA) codons were shown. Nip represents the rice cultivar Nipponbare. b The average gelatinization temperatures of rice grains with different ALK alleles among 399 rice accessions. To and Tp were the onset and peak temperatures during gelatinization measured by differential scanning calorimeter (DSC), respectively. c and d Confirmation of near-isogenic lines (NILs) carrying different ALK alleles by two functional molecular markers 4211 (G/A) (c) and 4342 (GC/TT) (d) by using the allele-specific PCR (AS-PCR), respectively
