Phenotypes of plants overexpressing amiRNAs.
The empty vector control is always on the left. (A–D) pNW76, construct targeting Spl11. (A) Nipponbare whole plants, (B) Nipponbare leaves, (C) IR64 whole plants, (D) IR64 leaves at maximum tillering stage. (E–H) pNW78, construct targeting Pds. (E) Nipponbare whole plants, (F) Nipponbare leaves, (G) IR64 whole plants, (H) IR64 leaves at tillering stage. (I–L) pNW81, construct targeting Eui1. (I) Nipponbare whole plants, (J) Nipponbare uppermost internode, (K) IR64 whole plants, (L) IR64 uppermost internode. The ruler in (J) and (L) is 60 cm long.
