Phenotypic comparison between CRISPR/Cas9 knockout mutants and wild type plants. A Morphological characteristics donated by knockout of two fusion genes, the photo were taken at the fifth day after sowing. B Germination rate of different genotype. C Root length of germinated seedlings. D Shoot length of germinated seedlings. All these traits were observed at five days after sowing, with 3 homozygous lines of each fusion gene showed similar phenotype. The same Nipponbare line was used as control. The statistical analysis between transgenic lines and Nipponbare was done by Wilcox test. Asterisks indicate significant at p< 0.05
