Performance of lines R6547 (qPE9-1) and R6547 (qpe9-1). (A) Plant phenotype of lines R6547 (qPE9-1) and R6547 (qpe9-1). Bar, 100 cm. (B) Main panicle of lines R6547 (qPE9-1) and R6547 (qpe9-1). Bar, 10 cm. (C) Grains and brown rice of lines R6547 (qPE9-1) and R6547 (qpe9-1). Bar, 5 mm. (D) Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) of rice glume epidermis from lines R6547 (qPE9-1) and R6547 (qpe9-1). Bar, 200 μm. (E) Comparison of panicle length, grain length, 1000-grain weight, and grain yield per plant between lines R6547 (qPE9-1) and R6547 (qpe9-1). (F) Dynamic change of panicle curvature after anthesis. Data are means ± SD (n = 10–15). A Student's t-test was applied to generate P-values.
