A yield-related traits of FH and NIL-FH: GW3p6. a Plant phenotype of FH and NIL-FH::GW3p6. Scale bar, 10 cm. b Grain morphology of FH, NIL-FH:GW3p6 and FH/ NIL-FH::GW3p6. NIL and FH represent the grain morphology of NIL-FH::GW3p6 and FH, respectively. FH/NIL indicates the grain morphology of plants with heterozygous OsMADS1 (OsMADS1/OsAMDS1GW3p6) genotype. Scale bar, 5 mm. c–l A field-based comparison of the FH and NIL-FH::GW3p6 plants. c Grain length, d grain width, e 1000-grain weight, f grain yield per plant, g panicle length, h panicle number, i seed-setting rate, j grain number per panicle, k plant height, and l heading date. Data are shown as means ± SD (n = 24) with the indicated significance from a two-tailed Student’s t test. For statistical significance, *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, NS not significant.
