Phenotypes and gibberellins levels of banana mutant 8818-1 and its wide type(8818). a Comparison of the plant height between 8818 and 8881-1 in the harvest period. b Total GAs contents between 8818 and 8818-1 in different tissues at different ages. c Active GAs (GA₁, GA₃ and GA₄) contents in false stems of 8818 and 8818-1. Significant difference of total GAs contents for each tissue and active GA contents for each GA between 8818 and 8818-1 estimated by t-test was reported on the graphics (p-value < 0.05). Stars (*) indicate significant differences of total GAs content between the same organ of 8818 and 8818-1 (b) or between the same active GA of 8818 and 8818-1 (c)
