Figure 7.
Genotypic differences in seed development and chlorophyll content between ILSD1-2S and ILSD1-2E. A, Caryopsis morphology at 3 to 30 DPA. The green color shows the presence of chlorophyll in the pericarp tissue. B, Temporal distributions of leaf chlorophyll meter readings. The measurement was made for the flag leaves of flowering plants. C, Histological profiles of developing caryopses. Images show the tissues pericarp (pe), testa (te), and endosperm (en) cells. Arrows point to protein bodies (pb) in aleuronic (al) cells. Bars = 50 μm. D, Temporal distributions of caryopsis fresh weight. Arrows indicate estimated time points of physiological maturity.
