TABLE 3.
spi1; ba1 double-mutant analysis
| Genotype | Tassel length (cm) | Branch no. | Spikelet no. | Ear no. |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Normal | 52.32 ± 1.01 | 8 ± 0.30 | 646.7 ± 12.6 | 1.71 ± 0.07 |
| spi1 | 32.32 ± 1.2a | 3.18 ± 0.32a | 36.36 ± 3.59a | 1.38 ± 0.15a |
| ba1 | 36.8 ± 1.18a | 0 ± 0a | 21.7 ± 3.24a | 0 ± 0a |
| spi1; ba1 | 25.1 ± 1.8b | 0 ± 0 | 1.5 ± 1.19b | 0 ± 0 |
For quantification of inflorescence characters, the sample size was normal 11, spi1 12, ba1 11, and spi1;ba1 10. For quantification of ear number, the sample size was normal 56, spi1 16, ba1 24, and spi1;ba1 7.
Value is significantly different from normal, P < 0.05.
Value is significantly different from either single mutant, P < 0.05.
