Figure 1

Genetic alteration induced by tissue culture in rice. (a) Frequencies of genetic alterations detected by amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) in calli (C) and independent regenerated plants (regenerants, Rn) in each of the six rice genotypes: two pure lines, Nipponbare (Nip) and 93–11, a pair of reciprocal F1 hybrids (N/9 and 9/N) parented by the two pure-lines, and a pair of reciprocal tetraploids (NN/99 and 99/NN) resulted from the F1 hybrids. Two types of alteration patterns, loss of parental bands and gain of novel bands are shown. (b) Diagrammatic illustration of the genotypic differences between the pairwise comparisons for ”Frequency of genetic alteration”. Solid and dashed lines indicate statistically significant (p < 0.05) and insignificant (p > 0.05) differences, respectively, based on one-way ANOVA test (seeMethods).
