Levels of total soluble sugars (TSS) and reducing sugars (RS) in leaves of stressed sugarcane. Sugarcane transformed with Bax inhibitor‐1 gene (ScBI) from Arabidopsis and wild‐type plants (WT) subjected to hydric stress provoked by the interruption of irrigation during a period of 17 days. Error bars indicate standard deviation of four biological samples. Values for each genotype followed by the same small letter and treatment followed by the same capital letter were not significantly different (Tukey 5%). DM, dry mass.
