Extended Data Fig. 6: ZmICE1a regulates starch synthesis of maize endosperms.
From: ZmICE1a regulates the defence–storage trade-off in maize endosperm
a, Schematic diagram shows constructs used in the dual-LUC transient transcriptional activity assays. b, Transcriptional activities of ZmICE1a on the promoters of two key regulator of starch synthesis. Data are mean ± s.e.m. (n = 3 biologically independent samples). **, P < 0.01; two-tailed Student’s t-test; for exact P values, see Source Data. c, d, Resin section (c) and TEM (d) observations of starch granules (SGs) in 15 DAP WT and zmice1a endosperms. AL, aleurone layer. Scale bars, 100 μm (c) and 10 μm (d). Experiments were repeated three times yielding similar results.
