Expression of Malate Transporters and Measurements of ABA Levels.

qRT-PCR analysis of the expression of ABCB14 (A) and the tonoplast dicarboxylate transporter (tDT) (B) and ABA analyses (C) in leaves of the wild-type and transgenic lines. All measurements were performed on 4-week-old plants. Values are presented as means ± se of six individual determinations per line. The lines used were as follows: the wild type (WT), black bars; SDH14, gray bars; SDH43, dark-gray bars; FL11, light-gray bars; FL41, white bars. An asterisk indicates values that were determined by the Student’s t test to be significantly different (P < 0.05) from the wild type. FW, fresh weight.
