The morphological and cytological characteristics of large-seed ZB107 and small-seed ZB306. a The exact appearances of mature seeds and endosperms of ZB107 and ZB306. Scale bar = 1 cm. b Comparison of the surface area of endosperm between ZB107 and ZB306. c, d Histological analysis of the endosperm cell area and cell number of ZB107 and ZB306. e Cross-sections of the endosperm was divided into internal (1), middle (2), and external (3) parts. Data are reported as mean ± SD from 10 seeds. The significance was analyzed using Student t-test (The asterisk indicates significance, * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01, n.s., no significant difference). Scale bar = 25 μm
