Phenotypes and physiological characteristics of the wild type (WT) and lses1 mutant. A Phenotypes of the plants and leaves of WT and lses1 at the different growth stages. Phenotypes of the plants of WT and lses1 at the third-leaf stage (left), scale bar is 1 cm; Phenotypes of the second leaves from the top of WT and lses1 seedlings at the sixth-leaf stage (mid), scale bar is 5 cm; Phenotypes of the plants of WT and lses1 at the tillering stage (right), scale bar is 10 cm. B Starch contents (left) and I2-KI staining (right) of the leaves of WT and lses1. ED, sampling at the end of the day; EN, sampling at the end of the night. 1, 2 and 3 represent the first, second and third leaves from the top of seedlings at the sixth leaf stage, respectively. C Contents of ROS and chlorophyll and activities of protective enzymes in the leaves of wild-type (WT) and lses1 mutant (MT) plants. Error bars represent the standard deviations of three biological replicates. *, ** and *** significant difference at P < 0.05, P < 0.01 and P < 0.001, respectively
