Drought tolerance of SiLTP-OE and RNAi foxtail millet. The phenotype of the 2-week-old transgenic foxtail millet seedlings under drought treatment (A). The survival rates of transgenic foxtail millet and WT plants (B). Proline contents (C) and soluble sugar contents (D) in WT and transgenic plants after drought stress. The drought tolerance phenotypes of SiLTP-OE and RNAi foxtail millet at the reproductive stage (E) and the survival rates of transgenic foxtail millet (F). ^∗ and ^∗∗ indicate statistically significant differences at P < 0.05 and P < 0.01 (Student’s t-test), respectively.
