Seed germination and the effect of qLTG3–1 on low temperature germinability. (A and B) Rice seed germination. (C) Microscopic observation of the embryo. (D) Frequency distribution of low temperature germinability in the advanced backcrossed progeny. Arrowheads indicate the means of Italica Livorno (IL) and Hayamasari (HY). Three classified genotypes, homozygous for the Italica Livorno allele (black), heterozygous (hatched), and homozygous for the Hayamasari allele (white), assessed using the marker GBR3001 (6) are indicated. (E) Germination behavior of Hayamasari (open circle), the NIL (closed), and Italica Livorno (open triangle) under low temperature at 15°C. The means and SD of triplicates are shown. (F) Phenotype of germination of Hayamasari (Top), the NIL (Middle), and Italica Livorno (Bottom) incubated for 3 days at 25°C and 7 days at 15°C. The bars are 1 cm.
