Internode lengths of 80-d-old plants and the number of new internodes formed during a 45-d period were determined in nine plants per genotype except for line 17 (five plants). Data presented are means for each genotype ±se. Differences that are significant at the <0.05 probability level between WT and each of the overexpressing lines for the two traits, according to Student's t test, are marked with asterisks.
