Agronomic characters of MPK17-OX transgenic plants. A, B 4021 and MPK17-OX transgenic lines at mature stage (Bar = 30 cm). C Panicles of 4021 and MPK17-OX transgenic lines at mature stage (Bar = 5 cm). D Columns showing plant height. E Columns showing numbers of grains per spike. F Columns showing for panicle length. G Columns showing for seed setting rate. H Columns showing 1000-grain weight. OX202 and OX208: independent MPK17-OX transgenic lines; CK: 4021 (TP309 transgenic line harboring the Xa21 gene). Mean was calculated for eight individual plants. Error bars are standard deviation (SD). “*” and “**” designate difference at p < 0.05 and p < 0.01 levels respectively
