Fig. 5: Reduced seed TAG content and altered seed morphology in dwf5 and dwf7 mutants.
From: Sterols are required for the coordinated assembly of lipid droplets in developing seeds

a Representative phenotypes of dry seeds of wild type (Col), dwf1-2, dwf4-6, dwf5-8, dwf7-4. Red triangles indicate severe wrinkled seeds. Bar = 400 μm. b Seed size. c Length to width ratios of seeds. Numbers in b and c represent the number of seeds analyzed for data collection. d Weight per 100 dry seeds. e Seed TAG contents quantified by GC-MS. In b and c, the box plot boundaries reflect the interquartile range, the center line is the median and the whiskers represent 1.5 × the interquartile range from the lower and upper quartiles. Numbers in b and c represent the number of seeds analyzed for data collection. Data in d and e, n represent the number of biological replicates. Data are mean ± SD. In b, c, d, and e, different letters indicate significant differences at P < 0.05, as determined by one-way ANOVA with Tukey’s multiple comparisons test.
