Protein levels of OsPho1 and OsDpe1 in developing rice seeds. A, proteins were extracted from immature seeds harvested at 7, 14, and 21 days after flowering and probed using anti-OsPho1 and anti-OsDpe1 antibodies. Protein amounts were measured by using standard curves from immunoblot analysis of varied amount (5–250 ng) of the purified recombinant OsPho1 and OsDpe1. Relative protein levels (D) were calculated by dividing molar quantity of OsPho1 (B) with molar quantity of OsDpe1 (C). Lowercase letters indicate the difference of means, by Tukey's critical range test, at α = 0.05.
