Extended Data Fig. 7: Expressing the chloroplast gene psbA in the nucleus stimulates growth in rice.
a, Seedling phenotypes of wild-type and transgenic rice lines (R3, R13 and R23) harboring the pHsfA2::RbcSPTP-psbA cDNA construct under field growth conditions. Scale bar=10 cm. Three times these experiments were repeated independently with similar results. b, The representative top second leaves detached from the plants of wild-type and transgenic rice lines (R3, R13 and R23) at the heading stage when grown under field growth conditions. Scale bar = 10 cm. c, Width of the top second leaves detached form the indicated genotypes as shown in (b) (n=20). Individual values (black-coded dots) and means are shown. Statistical analyses were performed (***P value < 0.001, two-sided Student’s t test). Error bars indicate SD.
