Osa-miR159a influences rice traits and yield. a, b Gross morphology of the indicated lines. Scale bars, 20 cm. c, d Panicles morphology of the indicated lines. Scale bars, 2 cm in (d). e, f Shucked grains of the indicated lines. Scale bars, 2 mm. g Potassium iodide dye shows the starch in the pollen grain of the indicated lines. Scale bars, 100 μm. h-k Potassium iodide dye shows the starch in seeds of the indicated lines. The pictures in (h, k) were captured before potassium iodide dye. The pictures in (i, j) were captured after potassium iodide dye. l, m Comparison of grain width (l) and grain length (m) in the indicated lines. Scale bars, 5 mm
