Expression levels of some drought- and salt-responsive genes in WT and BnaABF2-expressing transgenic plants under drought or salt stress condition. Two-week-old plants grown on the MS medium supplemented with 1 % sucrose were treated with dehydration or 200 mM NaCl for 6 h, respectively, while the control plants were not subjected to the stresses. The expression levels are presented as relative units with the levels of non-treated WT plants being taken as 1. Values are the mean ± SE of three independent experiments
