Experimentally verified phenotypes of rice STTM lines: agronomic trait-related (A) and stress response-related (B). (A) Variations in agronomic traits, including the fertility, panicle size, plant height, grain weight, leaf inclination, tiller number, tiller angle, and root development, of seedlings are diagrammatized. Fertility: fertile (black dots), sterile (yellow dots), filled seeds (yellow grains), empty seeds (blue grains). Grain weight: smaller grains (left side of WT), larger grains (right side of WT), each part of the balance represents the 1,000-grain weight. Leaf inclination: smaller leaf angle (left side of WT), increased leaf angle (right side of WT). (B) Diagrams from left to right represent biotic stress from blast disease caused by Magnaporthe oryzae and abiotic stress, including drought stress, salt stress, high temperature (42°C), and low temperature (4°C). Brown dots on the leaves indicate disease lesions, deep yellow plants indicate dead tissues and green plants indicate surviving tissues.
