Abiotic stress response of LGS1. (A and B) Phenotype of Ma85 and MaCP (A), and JF178 and JFCP (B) after cold (4 °C) treatment (n=30). Ma85(ck) and JF178(ck), unstressed controls; MaCP and JFCP, transgenic plants expressing the complementation vector pLGS1::LGS1 in Ma85 and plgs1::lgs1 in JF178, respectively. Plants were treated for 24, 48, and 72 h, respectively. Scale bar=10 cm in (A and B). (C and D) Comparison of survival rates after cold treatment in Ma85, JF178, and transgenic plants expressing the complementation vectors pLGS1::LGS1 in Ma85 and plgs1::lgs1 in JF178, respectively (C), and Samba, NIL-LGS1JF178, and Samba RNAi lines (D). Ma85, JF178, and Samba serve as controls in (C) and (D). Values are given as the mean ±SE. ns P>0.05, *P<0.05, **P<0.01 were calculated by Student’s t-test.
