Figure 3. Short-term osmotic stress response of EcNAC1 transgenic tobacco plants.

15-day-old T₁ transgenic seedlings selected on hygromycin were inter-planted with wild-type seedlings on MS medium supplemented with 5% PEG and observations were taken after seven days of stress treatment. (A) Phenotype, (B) Reduction in fresh weights over control, and (C) Root elongation of transgenic tobacco plants under stress. Each bar value represents the mean ± sd (n = 12) of triplicate experiments (student’s t test; *P<0.05 versus wild-type).
