Figure 2: Comparison of effect of Phi on seed germination, seedling morphology and chlorophyll content of WT and transgenic rice.
From: The development of a phosphite-mediated fertilization and weed control system for rice
(a) Comparison of seedling and root growth morphology of T2 ptxD lines and WT rice grown in half strength MS media supplemented with 25 mM Phi. (b) Photograph showing seedling morphology of transgenic and WT plants grown without Phi supplementation in half strength MS media. (c) Leaf blade phenotype of WT and ptxD lines showing darker-green leaves surface in transgenic plants under Phi (25 mM) treatment; scale bars representing 10 μm. (d) Comparison of chlorophyll content in transgenic lines and WT plants with or without Phi treatment. Data represent mean of independent isolations ± SEM (n = 6).
