Overexpression of CotAD_24498 enhances root growth and drought stress tolerance in Arabidopsis transgenic lines (A) CotAD_24498 overexpressing and WT plants were grown vertically in 0.5 Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium supplemented with 0, 100, 200 and 300 mM mannitol and incubated for 6 days. (B). Root elongation comparisons on 0.5 MS put at normal and osmotic stress for 6 days. The seedlings were scored and photographed after 6 days post germination. (C). Quantitative determination of fresh weight biomass of wild-type (WT) and both transgenic lines (L2, L3 and L3) after 6 days post germination at normal and drought stress condition. In (B, C,), each experiment was repeated three times. Bar indicates standard error (SE). Different letters indicate significant differences between wild-type and transgenic lines (ANOVA; P < 0.05). CK: normal conditions.
