Fig. 1: Cultivated rice (Oryza sativa) generated more grain number and larger grain size than common wild rice (O. rufipogon).
From: OsMADS17 simultaneously increases grain number and grain weight in rice
a, b Phenotype of O. rufipogon (a) and O. sativa (b). Panicles and grains are shown in the lower corner. Scale bars, 5 cm for panicles, 1 cm for grains. c–e Main panicles (c), grain width (d), and grain length (e) of C418 and 8IL73 plants. Scale bars, 10 cm (c), 1 cm (d, e). f–h Comparison of grain number per main panicle (f), 1000-grain weight (g), and grain yield per plant (h) between C418 and 8IL73. Data were means ± standard deviation (s.d.) (n = 20 plants), comparisons are made by two-tailed Student’s t-test. Source data underlying Fig. 1f–h are provided as a Source Data file.
