Developmental phenotypes of the MtmiR156B-overexpressing plants. a Schematic illustration of vector used for MtmiR156B overexpression. b Transcript levels of MtmiR156B in wild type and 35S:MtmiR156B transgenic plants. c Two-month-old wild type and the 35S:MtmiR156B transgenic plants. d The number of primary branch in the wild type and the 35S:MtmiR156B transgenic plants. ^∗∗∗P < 0.001. e Adult leaves of the wild type and 35S:MtmiR156B transgenic plants. f Flower phenotype in the wild type and 35S:MtmiR156B transgenic plants. Arrowheads indicated the developmental defects of spike in MtmiR156B-overexpressing plants. g The side view of the central carpel of wild type and 35S:MtmiR156B transgenic plants. Bars: 5 cm (c), 1 cm (e), 2 mm (f), 2 mm (g)
