Germination tests of the seeds and spikes of the TaPer12-3A wheat EMS mutant. A Mutation site of the wheat EMS mutant taper12-j411. B Expression analysis of TaPer12-3A in taper12-j411 and J411 seeds. **P < 0.01 indicates extreme significance. C Germination phenotypes of freshly collected taper12-j411 and J411 seeds and spikes. The seeds and spikes germinated for 5 and 7 days, respectively. D Germination percentages of taper12-j411 and J411 seeds for 7 consecutive days. **P < 0.01 indicates extreme significance
