Panicle phenotype of the hybrid of A989 and MIM156fOE, A989 and the cs mutant. a The panicle morphology of the cs and the A989 mutants, their cross, and the WT. b The panicle morphology of the MIM156fOE, the A989 mutant, their cross, and the WT. c Statistical analysis of the number of PBs and SBs in the A989 mutant, the cs mutant, the MIM156fOE plant, the cs/A989 cross, and the MIM156fOE/A989 cross (n = 20). d Statistical analysis of the panicle length in the A989 mutant, the cs mutant, the MIM156fOE plant, the cs/A989 cross, and the MIM156fOE/A989 cross (n = 20). Single and double asterisks represent significant difference determined by the Student’s t-test at *P < 0.05 and **P < 0.01
