Fig. 6: Both OsMADS17 and OsAP2-39 exhibit the potential for increasing grain yield.
From: OsMADS17 simultaneously increases grain number and grain weight in rice
a–d The whole plants (a), main panicles (b), grain width (c), and grain length (d) of C418 and C418RNAi-OsMADS17 plants. e Relative expression levels of OsMADS17 in C418 and C418RNAi-OsMADS17 plants (n = 3 replicates). f Comparison of OsMADS17 protein levels in young panicles between C418 and C418RNAi-OsMADS17 plants by western blot assays. HSP82 was used as the loading control (n = 3 replicates). g–i Comparison of grain number per main panicle (g), 1000-grain weight (h), and grain yield (i) between C418 and C418RNAi-OsMADS17 plants (n = 20 plants). j, k Comparison of grain yield in the field trials between C418 and C418RNAi-OsMADS17 plants (n = 3 replicates). 2019, Beijing, China (j) and 2020, Hainan Province, China (k). l Comparison of grain yield in the field trials between C418 and C418RNAi-OsAP2-39 plants (n = 3 replicates). 2021, Beijing, China. Scale bars, 25 cm (a), 10 cm (b), 1 cm (c, d). Data were means ± s.d. and comparisons are made by two-tailed Student’s t-test. Source data underlying Fig. 6e–l are provided as a Source Data file.
