The germination and early seedling growth of the transgenic plants in response to ABA. (A) The seed germination rates of wild-type (WT) and RCAR11/12/13/14 overexpression transgenic plants in the presence of ABA on the fourth day after stratification at 4 °C for 3 days; (B) Phenotypic analysis of WT and transgenic lines were grown on the MS medium with or without ABA and the green cotyledons were recorded 7 days after the stratification at 4 °C for 3 days. The green cotyledon percentage is indicated on the right. The experiments were repeated three times with similar results. Values are means ± SD (n > 100) of three independent experiments (* p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01, Student’s t-test).
