Dry matter at anthesis (DMA), dry matter at maturity (DMM), grain yield (GY), total nitrogen accumulation at anthesis (TNAA), total nitrogen accumulation at maturity (TNAM), and grain nitrogen accumulation at maturity (GNAM). Statistical analysis of data from T4 generation; n = 3 plots for each mean. The different letters indicate a significant difference between the transgenic line and the WT. (P < 0.05, one-way ANOVA).
