a Gross phenotypic characterization of control plants, miR156-overexpressing transgenic plants (miR156OE-27), and overexpression of WOX3a in miR156OE-27 transgenic plants (miR156OE_WOX3aOE). Scale bar = 5 cm. Internode 3 at the E4 stage (b) and Leaf 3 at the E4 stage (c) of control, transgenic miR156OE-27, and transgenic miR156OE_WOX3aOE plants are shown. Scale bar = 5 cm. Three-month-old tillers were used to measure plant height (d), internode number (e), tiller number (f), and internode diameter (g). Three tillers per plant were measured for each replicate. Values are means ± SEs (n = 3–7). The letters above the error bars indicate significant differences determined by one-way ANOVA (p < 0.05, Duncan’s multiple-range test)
