Fig 8. Drought tolerance of the AtBAT1 plants.

Fig 8

(A) Drought tolerance assay. Water was withhold from 4-week-grown plants for 16 days, and images were taken before and after drought treatment. As the results of transgenic plants #4 and #5 were similar to those of #3, transgenic plant #3 is shown as a representative plant. (B) Measurements of relative water content (RWC). The leaves were harvested every 4 days after stopping irrigation, and the fresh, turgid, and dry weights were measured to calculate the RWC. Data represent mean ± SD of three independent measurements. (C) Average survival rates after drought treatment. Data represent means ± SD of three independent measurements (n = 60 for each measurement). Statistically significant changes compared with NT are indicated by ** at P < 0.001.
