Comparisons of the panicle morphologies of spl4-d3 transgenic plants with control plants. A Panicle architecture, scale bar = 5 cm. B Secondary branch, scale bar = 1 cm. C Scanning electron micrographs of the young panicle, scale bar = 4 mm. D Grain number per panicle. E Seed setting rate. F Number of primary branches. G Number of secondary branches. H Heatmap of the expression patterns of the floral identity genes. I qRT-PCRs validation of the expression levels of some flower development genes (MADS3, MADS22, MADS31 and MADS32) in spl4-d3 transgenic plants. Data were normalized to those of the control plants. Values are means ± SD (n = 3). Significant difference was determined by Student’s t test, *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01
