Figure 1.
(A) The seed shattering rate of Yundao 1 (left), F1 hybrid (middle) and near-isogenic line (NIL-hs1) (right). Scale bars = 0.5 cm. (B–D) Fluorescence images of a longitudinal section of the spikelet and pedicel junction in Yundao 1, F1 hybrid and NIL-hs1, respectively. (B) Yundao 1 showed an incomplete in abscission zone. (C) F1 hybrid with a complete abscission layer. (D) NIL-hs1 exhibited a deficiency in abscission layer on the palea side and partial abscission layer on the lemma side. AL: Abscission layer, V: Vascular bundle. White arrow indicates a deficiency in abscission zone. Scale bars = 10 µm.
