Phenotypic analysis of TaSDIR1-4A-silenced wheat and transgenic Arabidopsis. Virus-induced gene silencing (VIGS) of wheat was undertaken using a series of recombinant barley stripe mosaic virus (BSMV) vectors. (A) Relative expression of TaSDIR1-4A showing that transcription was lower in BSMV:TaSDIR1-4A plants than BSMV-free and BSMV:GFP plants. (B) Thousand-grain weight (TGW), (C) grain size, and (D) representative images of the grains. (E) Seed size in Arabidopsis plants in the Col-0 wild-type and T-DNA insertion mutant sdir1-1 backgrounds overexpressing (OE) TaSDIR1-4A. Vector, empty vector control. Significant differences between means were determined using one-way ANOVA followed by Tukey’s test (P<0.05).
