Figure 1. Shortened glumes cause round grains in sar1.

Figure 1

(A–E) Mature grains (A), mature florets (B), mature caryopses (C), elongating florets (D), developing caryopses (E) of WT and sar1. The numbers on Panel E indicate days after pollination. (F) Statistical results of glume size during floral development for the WT and sar1 (15<n<185). (G) Mature WT and sar1 grains and caryopses grown under glume-cutting conditions, which mean that the distal ends of glumes were cut off before fertilization, allowing caryopses to develop without height restrictions from glumes. Scale bar = 1 mm in (A) to (E) and (G).
