Phenotypic traits of the wild-type control and ZmMYB167 Miscanthus plants. Agronomic characteristics at the senescence stage. a Biomass accumulation is expressed as total dry above-ground biomass. b Plant height measured from base to tip of the inflorescence of the tallest tiller of fully senesced plants. c Tiller count is recorded as the number of stems per plant. Data are means ± standard error of at least five transgenic plants (n ≥ 5). For wild-type controls, n = 3. Different letters within each plot indicate significant differences (P ≤ 0.05) following a one-way ANOVA with a post hoc Tukey test
