Figure 1. Comparison of grain size and dry weight accumulation between wildtype (WYJ8) plant and RGB1 RNA-interfered transgenic lines.
(a) Immunoblot analysis of the transgenic plants. Total proteins are extracted from the panicles, and 10 μg protein was used for western blotting. (b) Grain morphology (size and shape). Scale bar: 15 mm. (c-f) Comparison of grain size and weight between wild type (WYJ8 ) and RGB1 RNA-interfered transgenic lines:(c) Grain length; (d) Grain width; (e) Grain thickness; (f) 1000-grain weight. (g) The grain starch content. (h) The changes of caryopsis morphology at different days after flowering. (i) Changes of grain weight during grain-filling. Data are shown as means ± SDs (n = 15).
