Plant height, as well as flag leaf length and width of untransformed (WT Gamtoos-R) and wheat transformed with pUBI-OTS1 or empty vector (pUBI) prior to exposure to water stress.

Genotype	Plant organ
	Plant height	Leaf length	Leaf width
	(mm)	(mm)	(mm)
WT Gamtoos-R	400 ± 8.0a	380 ± 5.0a	65 ± 5.0a
Empty-pUBI	410 ± 18.0b	360 ± 18.0a	66 ± 5.0a
Transgenic pUBI-OTS1	710 ± 55.0c	370 ± 25.0a	82 ± 9.0a

Three independent transgenic lines were measured, with each one being compared with the non-transgenic control plant (WT Gamtoos-R). Experiments were repeated three times. Error bars indicate SD (n = 9) and significance was set at p = 0.05.
