Osmolality and soluble sugar contents in sh1*. a A freshly harvested F2 ear of W64A × sh1*. The black arrow identified the sh1* kernels, Bar = 0.5 cm. b Comparison of osmolality in Z58 and sh1* kernels. c TLC analyses of total soluble sugars from Z58 and sh1* kernels. Fru, Glu and Suc represented fructose, glucose and sucrose, respectively, Mix was a mixture of them. The two groups of gels cropped from different parts of the same gel which is presented in additional Fig. S2 and the cropped areas are labelled using black borders. d Comparison of soluble sugar content in Z58 and sh1* kernels. e Sucrose, glucose and fructose contents in Z58 and sh1* kernels. f Ratio of sucrose to glucose and fructose in kernels of Z58 and sh1*. All experiments mentioned in this picture were performed with three biological replicates and error bars represent SD
