Expression of drought stress-responsive genes in CaREL1-OX plants. CaREL1-OX plants were exposed to drought stress and the expression levels of ABA-dependent stress-related genes were measured 3 h after detachment using quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) analysis. The relative expression levels (∆∆CT) of each gene were normalized to the geometric mean of Actin8 as an internal control gene. Data represent the mean ± standard error of three independent experiments. Different letters indicate significant differences between wild-type and transgenic lines (P < 0.05; ANOVA followed by Fisher’s LSD test).
