From: Two highly similar DEAD box proteins, OsRH2 and OsRH34, homologous to eukaryotic initiation factor 4AIII, play roles of the exon junction complex in regulating growth and development in rice

Phenotype of OsRH2 and OsRH34 double-knockdown T1 transgenic rice. a WT and three independent OsRH2 and OsRH34 double-knockdown lines, RH2Ri 2b, RH2Ri 4, and RH2Ri 14b, seedlings were grown on ½ MS agar medium for 10 days and transferred to hydroponic cultures for 7 days. Bar = 1 cm. b Quantification of plant height at seedling stages. The plant height of 17-day-old seedlings was measured. Error bars indicate the SD of ten individual plants for each line. * is significantly different from the wild-type plants (Student’s t test: p <0.05). c Comparison of plant height between WT and RH2Ri 2b in 78-day-old plants and 147-day-old plants. Bars = 19 cm. d Comparison of internode distance of 4-month-old rice plants among WT, RH2Ri 2b, RH2Ri 4, and RH2Ri 14b. Bars = 5 cm. e Determination of internode distance of RH2Ri 2b, RH2Ri 4, RH2Ri 14b, and wild-type plants. Error bars show ± SD (n = 20), * is significantly different from the wild-type plants (Student’s t test: p <0.05)
