Drought tolerance of ahs10, ATHB17 OX and ATHB17 KO lines. 10-day-old seedlings were withheld from water for 10-13 days and were then watered. Their survival rates were determined 2 days after the re-watering. (A, C, and E) Representative ahs10, ATHB 17 OX line and ATHB17 KO line plants, respectively, after the re-watering. (B, D, and F) Survival rates of the plants in (A), (C) and (E), respectively. The values are the mean of three independent experiments (n = 20 each). The small bars represent standard errors.
