Comparison of the main agronomic traits between BC2F2 plants and C5S
| Materials | Plant height (cm) | Panicle length (cm) | Number of tillers | Number of grains per panicle | Number of primary branches per panicle | Number of secondary branches per panicle |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| C5S (OsHMA3 + Pi49) | 63.9 ± 3.3 | 18.0 ± 0.6 | 8.8 ± 1.3 | 173.5 ± 23.3* | 10.8 ± 1.3* | 37.8 ± 9.4 |
| C5S (qlGCd3 ± Pi48) | 69.2 ± 3.1 | 21.9 ± 0.2* | 8.0 ± 1.6 | 161.8 ± 33.8 | 10.0 ± 0.8 | 36.3 ± 10.0 |
| C5S | 64.1 ± 3.9 | 19.1 ± 1.2 | 8.8 ± 1.0 | 133.8 ± 20.0 | 9.0 ± 0.8 | 29.5 ± 4.7 |
“*” means a significant difference (P < 0.05) compared with the recurrent parent C5S. LSD method was used for multiple comparison
