WT (wild type); PH (plant height) cm; PN (panicle numbers); FLL (flag leaf length) cm; FLW (flag leaf width) cm; GNPP (grain number per panicle); GL (grain length) mm; GWD (grain width) mm; GWT (1000-grain weight) g. Five independent plants were used to collect data from three replicates (n = 5). For grain phenotyping, five grains from each plant were selected randomly. * and ^ns denote the significant and non-significant differences (Student’s t-test, p < 0.01), respectively.
