Fig 6. OsEREBP1 confers submergence tolerance in rice.

Fig 6

(A) Two-week old plants were removed from water after 7 days of submergence and photographed. (B) Plant height after submergence treatment. Two-week old plants were submerged for 7 days and plant height of 10 plants was measured at 0 and 7 days after submergence. The error bars represent means ± SD (n = 3) and asterisk indicates that the differences in length were significant (P<0.01) as analyzed by one way ANOVA using SigmaPlot Version 11.0. (C) Plant viability after submergence treatment. Two-week old seedlings of transgenic lines (4–3, 2–4) and Kitaake control were submerged for 14 days and allowed to recover under normal conditions. The plants were scored as viable if they produced new leaves. (D) Accumulation of reactive oxygen species upon submergence. Two-week old seedlings were submerged for 7 days and immediately after desubmergence, the leaves were stained with DAB or NBT to detect hydrogen peroxide or superoxide radicals, respectively.
