NCED1-4 Responses to Dehydration Stress.

(A) to (D) NCED1-4 expression in response to dehydration. Eight-week-old leaf tissues were allowed to lose 15% of their initial fresh weight at room temperature (Dehydration). In parallel, leaf tissues were incubated in sealed plastic bags containing wet paper towels as controls (CTL). Error bars denote se (n = 3).

(E) to (G) NCED2-4 expression in leaves of RNAi-NCED4 lines (RNAi8-2 and RNAi8-7) and controls (CTL) in response to dehydration. Dehydration treatment was as described for (A) to (D) except that 6-week-old leaves were used. Error bars denote se (n = 3).
