Changes in relative expression patterns of starch metabolism related genes [SSSI (A, B) and ISAI (C, D)] in the early and late seasons in developing rice endosperm as affected by combined organic and inorganic N fertilization. Letter a—d indicate difference is significant at 0.05 level. The mean comparison was made using the least significant differences (LSD) test for treatments and seasons means based on the f LSD test at 5%. ns = non-significant and *,** = significant at 5% and 1%, respectively.
