Table 1. Plant growth parameters of wild-type (ZH11), rbpl line and its segregated wild-type RBP-L sibling.
Each of the traits in mutants was compared to wild-type using the Student’s t test. *P value of two tailed t test < 0.05; **P value of two tailed t test < 0.01; wt*, the segregated wild-type plant from heterozygous rbpl line.
