Phenotypes of wild-type and <i>OsSIZ1</i>-transgenic plants under normal temperature and after heat stress treatment.

<p><b>A.</b> Phenotypes of wild-type and two independent <i>OsSIZ1</i>-transgenic plants under normal growth condition (i.e. 22 ^oC). Plants were grown vertically on MS media in darkness for 9 days before the picture was taken. <b>B.</b> Phenotypes of wild-type and two independent <i>OsSIZ1</i>-transgenic plants after heat treatment. Plants were grown vertically on MS media in darkness for 3 days and then exposed to heat shock at 45 ^oC for 5 h, then returned to normal growth condition for 6 days before the picture was taken. <b>C.</b> Analysis of hypocotyl length of wild-type and two independent <i>OsSIZ1</i> transgenic lines shown in figure A and B. Black column, normal condition; grey column, after heat shock treatment. <b>D.</b> Phenotypes of wild-type and two independent <i>OsSIZ1-</i>transgenic plants under normal growth conditions. Plants were grown on MS media for 12 days before the picture was taken. <b>E.</b> Phenotypes of wild-type and two independent <i>OsSIZ1-</i>transgenic plants under after heat treatment. Plants were grown on MS media for 5 days and then exposed to 45 ^oC for 20 min, then plants were returned to normal growth condition for 7 days before the picture was taken. <b>F.</b> Survival rates of plants shown in figure D and E. Black column, under normal condition; grey column, after heat shock treatment. <b>G.</b> Phenotypes of wild-type and two independent <i>OsSIZ1-</i>transgenic plants grown under normal growth condition. Picture was taken 10 weeks after germination. <b>H.</b> Phenotypes of wild-type and two independent <i>OsSIZ1-</i>transgenic plants after heat stress treatment. Plants were exposed to heat stress (37 ^oC for 5 h every day) 4 weeks after germination and the picture was taken 6 weeks after the heat stress was started. <b>I.</b> Seed yields of wild-type and two independent <i>OsSIZ1-</i>transgenic plants grown under normal growth condition or after heat stress treatment. Black column, normal condition; grey column, after heat stress treatment. ** statistically significant at 1%; WT, wild-type; SIZ1-3 and SIZ1-5, two independent <i>OsSIZ1</i>-transgenic lines.
