OsSAUR33 regulates seed vigor via in the sugar pathway during early seed germination in rice. (A) Seed germination of the WT and the ossaur33 mutants under H₂O and glucose (3 and 5%) treatments for 5 days. Bars = 10 mm. (B–D) Comparison of the germination potential, germination index, and seedling percentage between the WT and ossaur33 mutants under the H₂O and glucose treatments conditions. The numbers above the box-plots indicate the relative value of the WT compared with that of the mutant. Each column represents the mean ± standard deviation, black small symbol means the value of each replication, n = 3. Different letters above the column indicate significant difference at the 5% level according to an analysis of variance (ANOVA) test.
