Differences between NIL-ZS97 and NIL-NIP with the contrasting alleles at qGL11. (a) Graphic genotype representation of NIL-NIP. (b) Differences between NIL-ZS97 and NIL-NIP in seed morphology. Scale bar: 5 mm. (c) Comparison of the grain size and grain yield in NIL-ZS97 and NIL-NIP. Data are given as the mean and SE (n = 10). (d–f) Scanning electron microscopy analysis of the lemma. Differences between NIL-ZS97 and NIL-NIP in spikelet morphology (d), cell morphology (e), longitudinal cell length (f) in the lemmas of spikelet hulls. Values provided as the mean and SE (n = 10). (g) IAA and IAA-amino acid conjugate species in NIL-ZS97 and NIL-NIP. Content relative to NIL-ZS97, which was set to 1, is presented as the mean and SE of triplicates. **, * indicate a significant difference at P < 0.01 and P < 0.05, respectively, by Student’s t-test. NS, no significance.
