Analysis of the Role of Ghd7 in N Accumulation in Rice Based on NILs and Transgenic Plants.

(A) to (C) N concentrations in shoots at the heading stage (A), in straw (B), and in brown rice (C) for four NILs.

(D) to (F) N concentrations in shoots at the heading stage (D), in straw (E), and in brown rice (F) in wild-type and transgenic plants.

Data are shown as means of three biological replicates ± sd; the corresponding tissues of five plants were mixed to make one replication. Two asterisks indicate significant differences (P < 0.01) compared with the wild type (t test). DW, dry weight.
