Fatty acid and carbohydrate levels in rice straw. a Quantification by gas chromatography analysis of total triacylglycerol (TAG) and total fatty acids (FAs) levels in wild-type rice plants and two transgenic lines for both Indica rice Minghui 86 (MH86) and Japonica rice Nipponbare (Nipp), expressing the same full-length AtWR1 construct (WRI1). b Glucose (Glc), sucrose (Suc), and starch, levels in the same genotypes. WRI1(1) and WRI1(2) indicate different transgenic lines. Mean value ± SD from three biological replicates for each genotype. DW: dry weight. Asterisks indicate a statistical difference compared to wild-type control plants, significant at *p ≤ 0.05 or **p ≤ 0.01 (Student´s t-test)
