Phenotype characteristics of the mutantbnd2.a-bThe hypocotyls length of one-week-old wild type (WT) andbnd2seedlings.c-ePlants (c) and leaves (d-e) of WT andbnd2at 5-week-old seedling stage.f-gPlants at peak flowering stage (f) and flowering period (g) of WT andbnd2.hEffects of thebnd2mutant on plant height (PH), first branch height (FBH), main inflorescence length (MIL), internode length (IL) and internode number (IN).i-jComparison of whole plant phenotype (i), internodes (j) between WT andbnd2.k-nComparison of yield-related traits between WT andbnd2including siliques per plant (SPP), seeds per silique (SPS), thousand-seed weight (TSW) and yield per plant (YPP). All values in (b,e,g,h,k-n) are mean ± standard deviation (SD) (n = 10). Bars = 20 cm in (a,f,i,j) and 5 cm in (c-d). Significance of difference was determined by Student’st-test (n.s., not significant; *,P < 0.05; **,P < 0.01; ***,P < 0.001)
