Phenotypic analysis of atairp3/log2-2 knockout mutant and 35S:AtAIRP3/LOG2-RNAi knockdown transgenic plants in response to drought stress. A, Hypersensitive phenotypes of atairp3/log2-2 and 35S:AtAIRP3/LOG2-RNAi plants in response to water deficit. Wild-type (WT), mutant, and RNAi (independent T4 transgenic lines 1 and 2) plants were grown for 3 weeks in pots under normal growth conditions. The plants were grown for another 14 d without watering. Survival of these water-stressed plants was monitored 3 d after rewatering. B, Measurement of leaf water loss rates. The aerial parts of 4-week-old wild-type, atairp3/log2-2, and 35S:AtAIRP3/LOG2-RNAi plants were incubated at room temperature for different time periods. Changes in the fresh weight of leaves were measured at the given time points. Bars indicate means ± sd of 10 plants. Similar results were obtained from four biologically independent replicates.
