Expression of PtCYP714A3 inhibits shoot growth and promotes tillering in transgenic rice plants. (a) Field‐grown plants. (b, c) Internode lengths. (d) Tiller numbers. (e) Mature panicles. (f) Seed‐setting rates. (g) Seed numbers per panicle. (h) Grain yields per plant. (I) One‐hundred‐grain weights. (j) Seeds with and without seed coat. WT, wild type; Z33 and Z38, independent transgenic lines. Values are means ± SD from 30 individual plants with three independent biological replicates. * indicates significant difference in comparison with the WT at P < 0.05 (Student's t‐test).
