Fig 6. Effect of gradual moisture stress on photosynthetic efficiency in EcbHLH57 expressing transgenic plants.

Fig 6

Moisture stress was imposed by gradual reduction of soil moisture status to 60% and 40% FC. 100% FC was maintained as control. Photosynthetic measurements were made at the end of the stress period using IRGA (LiCOR, USA). A) The photosynthesis. B) Stomatal conductance and C) Comparison of dry weight of transgenic and wild type plant at the end of stress period. Data represent mean of three replications (n = 3) and bars indicate standard error. The lowercase letters that are different indicate significant difference (Duncan’s multiple range test, P<0.05) between transgenic and wild type plants exposed to same treatment. WT- wild type. M2, M3 and M4- transgenic lines expressing EcbHLH57.
