Manipulating osa-MIR156f Expression by D18 Promoter to Regulate Plant Architecture and Yield Traits both in Seasonal and Ratooning Rice

Table 1 Yield traits of different rice lines in the seasonal crop

Yield traits	WT	D18–11	U-16
Tiller number per plant	7.4 ± 0.9	9.1 ± 2.4*	46.8 ± 15.6**
Main panicle length (cm)	22.49 ± 1.61	21.70 ± 0.76 NS	7.94 ± 1.04**
Total grains per main panicle	126.0 ± 17.1	127.0 ± 10.9 NS	10.7 ± 2.2**
Filled grains per main panicle	97.1 ± 12.4	85.6 ± 13.3*	7.5 ± 2.0**
Filled grain percentage (%)	82.3 ± 5.0	75.2 ± 14.8*	70.9 ± 13. 9**
1000-grain weight (g)	24.3 ± 0.7	22.7 ± 0.5 NS	18. 2 ± 0.1**
Grain yield per plant (g)	14.6 ± 1.3	18.1 ± 3.6**	2.9 ± 0.6**

Values are the means ± SD of three biological replicates (n = 150). Asterisks indicate a significant difference compared to the wild type (WT) rice based on a t test. **: significant difference compared to WT rice at 1% level (P < 0.01); *: significant difference compared to WT rice at 5% level (P < 0.05); NS: no significant difference
