The effect of SLG7 on cell number and area in lemma/palea. (A) Scanning electron microscope photos of outer glume surfaces. One of the outer glume cells in NIL-slg7 and NIL-SLG7 hulls, respectively, is boxed by the red dotted line. Bars, 100 μm. (B) Cross section of middle spikelet hulls in NIL-slg7 and NIL-SLG7 plants. Bars, 500 μm. (C) Magnified photos of spikelet hull cross section boxed in B. White arrow shows the outer parenchyma cell layers. Bars, 50 μm. (D) Comparisons of cell number in the cross sections of the outer parenchyma cell layer of NIL-slg7 and NIL-SLG7 hulls. Data are given as mean ± SE (n = 4). n.s., not significant. (E) Comparisons of cell area in the cross sections of the outer parenchyma cell layer of NIL-slg7 and NIL-SLG7 hulls. Data are given as mean ± SE (n = 80). Significant at ***0.1% and *5%.
