Figure 1. Comparison of the rice phenotype between wild type and the pal3 mutants (A) Gross morphology of wild type and the pal3 mutants at mature stage (Bar=20 cm); (B) Closed panicle of wild type and the pal3 mutants (Bar=2 cm); (C) Spread panicles of wild type and the pal3 mutants (right) (Bar=2 cm); (D)-(G) Statistic analysis of panicle length (D), primary branch number (E), secondary branch number (F) and grain number per panicle (G) of wild type and the pal3 mutants. WT: Wild type. Data in figure are means±SD (n=20). ** indicate the significant differences at P<0.01 level by Students’t test.
