Phenotypes and mechanical strengths of the OsGH9B1 and OsGH9B3 transgenic plants. a Plant growths of representative transgenic plants and WT at filling stage, scale bar as 20 cm. b Plant height (WT: n = 46, OsGH9B1: n = 43, OsGH9B3: n = 28). c Breaking force (WT: n = 45, OsGH9B1: n = 43, OsGH9B3: n = 27) and extension force (WT: n = 38, OsGH9B1: n = 41, OsGH9B3: n = 26) of the stem tissues. d Dry biomass. Student’s t-test performed for WT and transgenic plants as **p < 0.01 and *p < 0.05
