Agronomic traits observation. a Phenotypes and physical properties of the wild-type (WT), fc17 mutant, and complementary lines (fc17 + CESA4) at the mature stage (scale bar = 10 cm). b Plant height. c Lodging index. d Dry biomass. e Tiller numbers. f Dry spike. g 1000-grain weight. **Indicate significant differences between WT and fc17 mutant by t-test at p < 0.01, with the increased or decreased percentage (%) calculated by subtraction of the values between the mutant and WT and divided by WT. The error bar indicates SD values (n = 3)
