Effects of OsHsp18.0-CI in transgenic plants. (A) Comparison of transgenic lines and wild type Shengdao 806 at the tillering stage, bar = 10 cm. (B-D) Grain morphology of transgenic lines and Shengdao 806, bar = 10 mm. (E) Plant height of transgenic lines and Shengdao 806 at the tillering stage, mean values were calculated from measurement on at least 10 individuals. (F) Number of tillers per plant in the wild-type and transgenic plants, Data were obtained from at least 10 individuals. (G) Number of grains per panicle in the wild-type and transgenic plants, mean values were calculated from measurement on at least 20 individuals. (G-K) Phenotype statistics of seeds from WT and transgenic plants, mean values were calculated from measurement on at least 20 individuals. The bars represent the means ± SD. “**” indicate extremely significant differences between wild-type and transgenic plants at P = 0.01 by Student’s t test. (TIF 5760 kb
