Drought resistance of the Arabidopsis med25. (A) Phenotypes of wild-type and med25 plants after drought stress in SD conditions (9 h/15 h; light/dark). Plants were grown in normal watering conditions for 4 wk, and then split in two groups. One group (D, drought) was grown without watering for 3 wk in the same light condition and then rewatered once. The other group (C, control) was grown for 4 wk in the same light under normal watering conditions. (B) Survival of plants after drought stress was assessed 7 d after rewatering. The experiment was performed using 15 plants for each genotype and treatment. Data represent mean ± standard deviation of three individual experiments. (C) The expression of drought genes (Rd29A, Rd29B, and Dreb2a) in leaves was analyzed using quantitative RT-PCR in the indicated lines during drought stress. Results were first normalized to the expression of adenine phosphoribosyltransferase 1 and eukaryotic initiation factor 4α mRNA and then to the level of expression for each mRNA at normal watering conditions. Bars represent standard deviation of the mean for three separate experiments.
