The rates of dry matter accumulation in the grains
between 3 and 9 DAF were similar in flo7 and WT.
flo7 grains accumulated dry matter more slowly than
WT grains, so that by maturity, the weight of flo7
grains had reached only ~80% of WT grains (Figs.
1-G and 2-A). The glucose and fructose contents of
the mutant grains were higher than those of WT grains
during the period of 6 to 24 DAF (Fig. 2-C, -D).
Before 9 DAF, there was no significant difference in
