From: GS9 acts as a transcriptional activator to regulate rice grain shape and appearance quality
Genetic interaction between GS9 and other grain size genes, GS3 and GW5. a Comparison of grain shape among Nipponbare and its various near-isogenic lines (NILs) carrying different combinations of the alleles of GS9, GW3, and GW5. Nipponbare (GS9/gw5/GS3) means the wild-type Nipponbare carrying the combination of alleles of GS9GS9/gw5gw5/GS3GS3, and the NILs harbored corresponding alleles as shown in Nipponbare background. NIL-GW5, near-isogenic line with the GW5 allele in Nipponbare; NIL-gs3, near-isogenic line with the gs3 allele in Nipponbare; NIL-gs9/GW5, pyramiding line from NIL-gs9 and NIL-GW5; NIL-gs9/gs3, pyramiding line from NIL-gs9 and NIL-gs3. Scale bar, 2 mm. b–i Grain length (b and f), width (c and g), thickness (g and h), and 1000-grain weight (e and i) of Nipponbare and NILs. Data are given as means ± SD (n = 30 in b–d, f, g, n = 3 in e, i)
