Expression levels of ZmSAD1 in the mature maize embryos. Ten maize embryos were excised from the mature seeds of A188, A188(ZmSAD1), and A188(ZmSAD1 RNAi). Total RNA samples were isolated from mature embryos. The expression level of ZmSAD1 was determined for each sample by qRT-PCR. Three biological replicates were performed. The expression levels were calculated using the maize actin1 gene (MaizeGDB: GRMZM2G126010) as the internal reference. Each bar represents the mean ± SD of three independent biological replicates. Student’s t-test was performed. * indicates p < 0.05; ** indicates p < 0.01
