Shoot and spikelet phenotype of Bdsbp9 mutant. (A) Schematic diagram of the T-DNA insertion line for BdSBP9 gene. The insertion was within first exon of the gene. (B) Comparison of shoot growth in Bd21-3 wild-type and Bdsbp9 mutant at vegetative and reproductive stage. Bar represents 1 cm. (C) Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis of the terminal spikelet of Bd21-3 wild-type and Bdsbp9 mutant. The SEM was performed at three resolutions at ×25, ×100 and ×500. Bar represents 4 mm, 1 mm and 200 µm. (D) Promoter regions analysis of BdSBP9 co-expressed genes for GTAC binding motif. (E) Heat map based expression analysis of BdSBP9 interactor proteins.
