Improved drought tolerance in AtWRKY57 transgenic rice. (A) Before drought treatment. (B) Drought for 14 days. (C) Drought for 20 days. (D) Recovery for 7 days after 20 days drought treatment. Drought stress was imposed on 4-week-old T3 transgenic seedlings in greenhouse. Drought experiments were repeated three times and at least 40 plants for each individual lines were used in each repeated experiment and one representative picture was shown. (E) Survival rate after 20 days drought stress. Values are mean ± SE (n = 40 plants, P < 0.05). (F) Rate of water loss by detached leaves from control and transgenic plants. Values are the mean ± SE (n = 6 plants, ∗∗P < 0.01). (G) Proline content in the leaves of 4-week-old transgenic and control plants with or without drought treatments. Values are the mean ± SE of three independent experiments (P < 0.05). FW, Fresh weight.
