Effects of osa-MIR156f on the ratooning rice. a Tillering phenotypes in the seasonal rice. b Outgrown axillary buds of D18–11 at 5 days after seasonal rice harvest. c Phenotypes of the ratooning rice. d Number and e activity of regenerated roots in ratooning rice. Three independent biological replicates were analyzed (n = 50). Error bars indicated the standard deviation (SD). Asterisks indicate a significant difference based on a t test. *: significant difference compared to the WT rice at a 5% level (P < 0.05); **: significant difference compared to the WT rice at a 1% level (P < 0.01); NS: no significant difference
