Genetic modification of MsSPL8 significantly altered shoot architecture and biomass yield in alfalfa (Medicago sativa). (a) Two‐month‐old plants of control, MsSPL8 down‐regulation (MsSPL8Ri‐14) and overexpression transgenics (MsSPL8OE‐23). (b) Relative expression levels of MsSPL8 in the MsSPL8Ri, control and MsSPL8OE plants. (c) Branch density (the total branch numbers produced in one centimeter of main stem) of the MsSPL8Ri, control and MsSPL8OE plants. (d) Fresh and dry biomass yields (gram) of the MsSPL8Ri, control and MsSPL8OE plants. Values represent means ± S.D. of six biological replicates and are analyzed by Student's t‐test (***P < 0.001).
