Figure 1

Effects of autophagy disruption on rice reproductive development grown in the paddy field. (a) The Osatg7-1 mutant exhibited a severe sterile phenotype under both greenhouse (2016A) and paddy field conditions (2017B and 2018B). The Box limits represent the upper and lower quartiles, the bold line represents the median, and the whiskers the minimum and maximum within 1.5 IQR of the lower or the upper quartile values. The unfilled circles indicate to suspected outliers. n = 12–61 independent samples. (b) The Osatg7-1 mutant had grains with a chalky appearance. Photographs were taken under back lighting. Scale bar: 5 mm. (c) Viable chalky grains shown in (b) were quantified and categorized. Data are the mean of 100 seeds of rice.
