TOE4b is a positive factor in flowering time and yield per plant traits under short‐day conditions. (a) Phenotypes of TOE4b overexpression transgenic lines at the maturity stage. (b‐h) Flowering time (b), scored as days after emergence (DAE); agronomic traits of plant height (c), measured from the cotyledonary node of the main stem to the apex in centimetres; number of nodes (d); internode length (e); branch number per plant (f); pod number per plant (g); and grain weight per plant (h). The plants were grown in a standard field in Guangzhou (23°55′ N) under natural conditions in 2020. W82, wild‐type Williams 82. At least 12 plants were scored for each phenotype; data are means ± SD. P < 0.05, as determined by multiple comparison testing by one‐way ANOVA. Different lowercase letters indicate significant differences.
