Figure 3. OsDERF1 is an important regulator for drought response.

Figure 3

A. OE and RI plants were subjected to drought stress for 6 d and 8 d, respectively, during seedling stage. B. Tillering-stage plants were subjected to drought stress for 11 d and then allowed to recover for 9 d. The survival rate shows the percentage of recovered seedlings, compared to all plants used for the assay, after rewatering. And the numbers in parentheses shows the survival seedlings/total tested plants. Control: rice plants were grown under normal conditions. Drought: plants had the daily water supply withheld. Each experiment was repeated at least three times, with >30 seedlings each of Nipponbare and transgenic rice lines. Rice with reduced expression of OsDERF1 denoted as RI, overexpressing OsDERF1 rice as OE, and the different transgenic lines are indicated as the numbers.
