Imaging and quantitative data showing growth and development differences between the WT plants and OsIMPα1b-edited (OsIMPα1b-ED) lines. a Plants in a growth chamber and in a specific pond within the experimental field. The image represents plant populations in approximately 1/15 hectare (1 Mu or 667 m2) for each genotype. b Plant height and fresh weight of 56-day-old and 90-day-old plants and tiller number at the heading stage. The data shown are mean values ± standard deviations (SD) (n = 3). c Three spikelets in a row excised from different rice genotypes and representing grain production in approximately 1/15 hectare (1 Mu or 667 m2) for each genotype. d Grain weight empirically determined in three experimental ponds and grain yield surveyed in 1/15 hectare (1 Mu or 667 m2) divided into the three experimental ponds. The data shown are mean values ± standard deviations (SD) (n = 3). In b and d, different letters on bar graphs indicate significant differences among different plants based on Duncan’s new multiple range test (P < 0.05)
