Figure 6. Expression patterns of six GmMIPs in roots of soybean at 0, 7, 14 and 21 days of no watering.

The six MIPs were selected from 25 GmMIPs expressing in root (see Fig. 5) and distributed on chromosomes 11, 12 and 13 (see Table 1) as each of these chromosomes contain highest number of MIPs. The expression pattern of control plants (water was applied after three-leaf stage till 21 d) at various time points was similar to those at 0 d of no watering and thus picture not presented.
