Effects of exogenous trehalose on starch synthesis of inferior spikelets (IS). A Starch content. B Starch synthase activity. C AGPase activity. D Susrose synthase activity. Data in the figure (A, B, C, D) are means and SD of four independent measurements. Asterisks represent significant difference (*P < 0.05, **P < 0.01). E Expression of starch synthesis-related genes in IS determined by qRT-PCR analysis. RNA was extracted from IS with trehalose treatment and control and then reverse transcribed for qRT-PCR analysis. The mRNA level of starch synthesis genes in IS with treatment were taken as 1-fold. The values are the means and SD of 6 replicates from two independent biological measurements. The PCR primers are shown in Table S4
