Phenotypic change due to OsPUB3 knock-out. A–C Three traits measured in the T₁ experiment using 20 plants. D–M Ten traits measured in the T₂ experiment using a randomized complete block design with three replications. The Duncan’s multiple range test was employed to test the phenotypic differences among the knock-out mutants, transgenic-negative control and recipient. Any two groups having a common letter, are not significantly different at a 0.05 level of significance. Instead, any two groups with different letters are significantly different at a 0.05 level of significance
