Table 2.
Phenotype of the wild-type (WT) and the micropropagated biallelic mutant plants, after 12 weeks of growth in pots filled with soil.
| Genotype | Tiller number | Stem diameter (mm) | Plant height (m) | Fresh weight (g plant-1) | Dry weight (g plant-1) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| AABB (WT) | 22.4 ± 1.44b | 4.56 ± 0.13a | 1.67 ± 0.11a | 34.5 ± 1.30b | 10.3 ± 0.98a |
| aabb (52-1-3) | 56.6 ± 4.31a | 3.94 ± 0.14b | 1.45 ± 0.07a | 44.7 ± 4.13a | 11.9 ± 0.71a |
Values are means ± s.d. (n = 5 plants). Different letters at the same column indicate significant differences at P < 0.05 level.
