Figure 4.

Grain Length Comparison.

(A) Photograph of 10 grains of GLA4 and NIL-An-1.

(B) Photograph of 10 grains of Nipponbare, CPL-1, and OX-1.

(C) Photograph of 10 grains of Kasalath, RNAi-2, and RNAi-6.

(D) Grain length comparison between GLA4 and NIL-An-1; grains in NIL-An-1 are slightly longer than those in GLA4.

(E) Grain length comparison among CPL, OX, and Nipponbare; grains in CPL and OX are much longer than those in Nipponbare.

(F) Grain length comparison among RNAi lines and Kasalath; grains in RNAi lines are shorter than those in Kasalath.

CPL, An-1 complementation plants; OX, An-1–overexpressing plants; RNAi, An-1 suppression plants. Bars = 10 mm. In (D) to (F), the sample size for all analyses was n = 100. The statistical significance was at P < 0.05 based on a two-tailed Student’s t test. Error bars represent the sd.
