For each parameter, average values of three WT and JcWRKY transgenic tobacco. Where, EL, electrolyte leakage; MSI, membrane stability index; TSS, total soluble sugar; ${\mathrm{O}}_{\mathrm{2}}^{\mathrm{•-}}$, superoxide radical content; H₂O₂, hydrogen peroxide content; SOD, superoxide dismutase; CAT, catalase; K⁺/Na⁺, ion content ratio. Where, ^∗ and ^∗∗ indicates significant and highly significant correlation at ^∗P ≤ 0.05 and ^∗∗P ≤ 0.01 respectively.
