Table 1. Vegetative traits collected for T1 families 1.
| Line | Total No. Plants | Relative Expression of ZmCCT10 qRT-PCR | Plant Height (cm) | Growth rate (cm/day) | Leaf No. | Leaf appearance rate (leaves/day) | Top Nodes with brace roots | Nodes with initiated primary ears |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| NTG siblings | 60 | 0 | 74.4 ± 14.2 | 4.4 ± 1.0 | 9.8 ± 0.8 | 0.28 | 4 to 6 | 6 to 7 |
| UBIpro:ZmCCT10 | 120 | 2.7 ± 1.3 | 104.9 ± 29.8* | 4.3 ± 0.8 | 12.6 ± 2.1* | 0.30 | 5 to 9 | 6 to 8 |
| NTG siblings | 45 | 0 | 67.9 ± 16.2 | 4.1 ± 1.1 | 9.5 ± 0.8 | 0.28 | 4 to 6 | 6 to 7 |
| BSVpro:ZmCCT10 | 69 | 11.9 ± 5.7 | 263.0 ± 51.8** | 2.8 ± 0.7 | 35.9 ± 5.8** | 0.31 | 16 to 37 | 18 to 33 |
Measurements represent means ± SD. Leaf appearance rate calculated with linear regression models. BSVpro:ZmCCT ear traits were collected only for one event (11 plants).
*Means are statistically different from NTG at p < 0.001.
**Means are statistically different from NTG at p < 0.00001.
