Figure 1.
Comparisons of the spike architecture and FHB resistance of the BSL and the NSL plants. The mutant has branched spikelets (BSL), and the wild type has normal spikelets (NSL). (A) Spike morphological characteristics of the BSL mutant and the wild-type YD-16. (B,C) Contrasting FHB resistance levels of the BSL plants and the NSL plants after artificial inoculation. The PSS was calculated by infected spikelets/total spikelets in 21 days after inoculation.
