Different growth stages of the GhCDPK16 transgenic line and wild-type responses under heat stress treatments. A Seed germination response to heat stress and 5-day recovery after treatment. B Germination rate analysis. C Seven-day-old seedling responses to heat stress and 7 days of recovery after treatment. D Survival rate analysis. E Phenologic changes of 4-week-old plants under heat stress treatments. SDL denotes seedlings. Each data point represents the mean (with SD bar) of three replicates. Asterisks * to *** represent significant differences (P < 0.05 to P < 0.01 two-way ANOVA with Tukey’s HSD post hoc test), while no asterisks denote no significant differences
