Phenotype of transgenic rice lines accumulating the Ole18-CecA fusion protein.
(A) Phenotypic appearance of transgenic rice plants 60 days after sowing. (B) Images of representative panicles from transgenic plants. (C) Average weight of 100 seeds per line. (D) Percentage of germinated seeds at 1 to 4 days after imbibition from empty vector (EV) and pOle18:Ole18-CecA transgenic plants. All results are representative of two independent assays, in which 2 WT, 3 EV and 5 pOle18:Ole18-CecA independent lines were analyzed. Bars correspond to SD.
