total pod number in
R3-1
was three-times larger than that of wild-type. Total
pod weight of
R3-1
was more than two-fold higher than that of wild-type.
However, average pod weight of
R3-1
was two thirds that in the wild-type.
Eight of representative pods of the wild-type and those of
R3-1
were
aligned and we could observe that in the case of
R3-1,
the pods were smaller,
as presented in Figure 6.

mutants.
The Test of High Temperature Resistance
The test of high temperature resistance was performed by the incubation
of imbibing seeds from the wild-type and
R3-1
at 35 ˚C under light
illumination (200 µmol m

s

) for one week. The treated germinating seeds
