Improved osmotic stress tolerance of AtGBF3 and EcGBF3 transgenic Arabidopsis plants. A week old hygromycin resistant T3 transgenic seedlings along with Col-0 and Atgbf3 mutant seedlings were transferred on to medium (1/2 MS, 0.5% sucrose and 0.1% phytagel) containing 100 mM mannitol and growth performance was measured after 10 days. Root length (a) and Biomass (b) were measured using plants carefully uprooted from the media and blotted on paper towel to remove any media. The values are means ± SE (n = 10). t test was used to show the statistical significance of the differences in the means of Atgbf3 mutant or transgenic plants from Col-0 plants. * and ** indicate significant difference from Col-0 plants at P ≤ 0.05 and P ≤ 0.01, respectively. Atgbf3, AtGBF3 mutant; AtGBF3-2, -3 and -4, transgenic lines overexpressing AtGBF3; mAtGBF3-1, 3 and -5, transgenic lines overexpressing AtGBF3 in the Atgbf3 mutant background; EcGBF3-1, 2 and 3, transgenic lines overexpressing EcGBF3; mEcGBF3-2, 3 and 4, transgenic lines overexpressing EcGBF3 in the Atgbf3 mutant background.
