Figure 2.
Comparison of floral morphology between ZH11 (control), the T0 osopr7 plant (Os2#3) without the MeJA treatment, and the T0 osopr7 plant (Os2#3 and Os2#9) with the MeJA treatment. The T0 transgenic plants were divided into two parts (Figure S1), which were used for the observation of anther sterility and the MeJA restoration, respectively. The pictures were taken in a same day when the flowers began to open in the morning (the left column), at full opening stage (the two columns in the middle) and at end of the day (the right column). The yellow circles focus on the anthers of the flowers, and the red circles show the pistils with or without pollen grains falling from dehiscence or indehiscence anthers. Scale bars = 1 mm.
