Fig. 5
End-of-season dry biomass and height of miR156 transgenic switchgrass and control field grown in East Tennessee for 2 years. Year one growing season took place from June 05 to November 24, 2015. Year two growing season took place from March 30 to November 18, 2016. a Dry biomass of both vegetative and reproductive tissues. Year one P = 0.0066; year two P ≤ 0.0001. b Dry biomass without panicles. Year one P = 0.002; year two P ≤ 0.0001. c Tallest part of the plant before panicle removal. P ≤ 0.0001 for both years. d Plant height after panicle removal. P ≤ 0.0001 for both years. Capital letters represent significant differences between means in year one (2015), and lowercase letters represent significant differences between means in year two (2016) (Fisher’s LSD, P < 0.05). Error bars represent standard error of the means
