Figure 3.

The level of ABA (Abscisic Acid) in (A) shoots and (B) roots of cpm2 and wild type (WT) under control, moderate, and severe drought stress. Three-week-old WT and cpm2 seedlings were either kept well-watered, and the control plants were sampled at day22, or watering was stopped to initiate moderate and severe stress conditions. Shoot and root samples were harvested in control, moderate and severe stress condition, respectively. WT and cpm2 are represented by blue and red bars, respectively. Data represents mean value ± standard error (SE); n = 5. Star (^*) denote statistical significance (P ≤ 0.05), respectively, between the two genotypes in a Student's t-test.
