Fig. 2: Comparison of plant height, spike length and grain yield between edited mutants and Fielder control showing the opposite effects of Rht-B1b and ZnF-B genes.
From: Reducing brassinosteroid signalling enhances grain yield in semi-dwarf wheat
a, The rht1-bb mutant had taller plants and internodes, and considerably larger spikes and grain sizes than those of Fielder. b, The znf-bb mutant had shorter plants and internodes, similar spikes and smaller grain sizes compared to those of Fielder. c, Comparison of plant height, spikes and grain sizes among rht1-bb and znf-bb single mutants, the znf-bb rht1-bb double mutant and the Fielder control (n represents the numbers of biologically independent samples). d, Quantification of plant height, spike length and TGW. Data are mean ± s.e.m. P -values were calculated by two-tailed Student’s t-test. Scale bars (a–c), 10 cm for whole plants, 5 cm for spikes and culms, and 1 cm for grains. I to V in a,b represent the pairs of the 1st to the 5th internodes from Fielder (left) and the mutants (right; rht1-bb in a, znf-bb in b) from top to bottom, respectively.
