Effect of Arabidopsis WRI1 overexpression on TAG levels in transgenic Indica rice plants. a Expression of full-length (WRI1) and truncated (ΔWRI1) AtWRI1 transgenes from the barley pSBE promoter in vegetative plant tissues (leaf, stem, root). b Quantitative PCR analysis of the expression of five genes in fatty acid synthesis in WRI1 and ΔWRI1 transformants. Mean value ± SD from three biological replicates for each line. Asterisks indicate a statistical difference compared to the wild type (MH86), significant at *p ≤ 0.05 or **p ≤ 0.01 (Student´s t-test). c Western blot analysis of OsPK-cyto and OsACC proteins in leaf and stem of wild-type rice MH86 plants and two different lines for each construct. Quantification of signal intensities is shown in Additional file 1: Table S1
