Fig. 1From: The Amino Acid Transporter OsAAP4 Contributes to Rice Tillering and Grain Yield by Regulating Neutral Amino Acid Allocation through Two Splicing VariantsThe expression level of OsAAP4 was positively correlated with rice growth between Indica and Japonica. a SNP divergence in OsAAP4 promoter regions between rice Indica and Japonica. b Average tiller number per plant at filling stage in OsAAP4 haplotypes 1 to 5 (Hap1-Hap5). c Average weight of shoot per plant at filling stage in OsAAP4 Hap1-Hap5. d Average total weight per plant at mature stage in OsAAP4 Hap1-Hap5. e Average grain yield per plant at mature stage in OsAAP4 Hap1-Hap5. f Average expression levels of OsAAP4 in young seedling tiller bud of Hap1-Hap5. g Expression levels of OsAAP4 in young seedling tiller bud between Hap2 and Hap5 of ten individual varieties. h Tiller number of ten individual varieties between Hap2 and Hap5. Four hundred ninety-seven rice accessions with Hap1-Hap5 according to Rice Variation Map v2.0 were used in (b-f). The primers used for quantifying OsAAP4 expression (f, g) was F: GACATCGTCCACAACCTCAAGGCT, and R: GCCACAGCTCTAGCTAGGCAGC. The letters above the error bars are ranked by the Duncan test at p < 0.05. Values are means ± s.d. (n = 3)Back to article page
