a, b Representative images of wild-type (WT) and the oschz1 mutant plants at heading date stage grown under long-day (LD) and short-day (SD) photoperiod conditions, respectively. Scale bar, 10 cm. c Heading date measurements of WT and the oschz1 plants. Values are shown as means ± standard deviation from n = 20 individual plants. Statistic significances were determined by two-tailed, paired Student’s t-test: ****p < 0.001; ns (not significant), p > 0.05. The exact p values are 4.93 × 10−18 (WT vs. oschz1-1), 9.74 × 10−21 (WT vs. oschz1-2), 0.3432 (oschz1-1 vs. oschz1-2) under LD condition; 2.82 × 10−12 (WT vs. oschz1-1), 1.50 × 10−12 (WT vs. oschz1-2), 0.9501 (oschz1-1 vs. oschz1-2) under SD condition. d Relative expression levels of various rice flowering time regulatory genes in WT and the oschz1 mutants. RNA was isolated from leaves of plants grown under LD photoperiods and was analyzed by quantitative RT-PCR. Zeitgeber time is indicated by a white bar for light period and a black bar for dark period. Values are shown as means ± standard deviation from n = 3 independent biological replicates, after normalization using rice Ubiqutin 5 as internal control. Source data underlying c and d are provided as a Source Data file.
