Transgene expression in the 28-day-old GmNAC109-EX1, 2, and 3 lines, and their phenotype under normal growth conditions. (a) Relative expression of the GmNAC109 in the EX lines (n = 3 biological replicates/genotype). (b) Representative photographs, maximum rosette radius and average rosette area of 28-day-old EX lines (n = 3 replicates/genotype; 5 plants/replicate). (c) Representative photographs and average primary root length (n = 3 replicates/genotype; 5 plants/replicate). Standard errors were calculated and shown by error bars. Duncan’s multiple range test was used for statistical analysis, and significant differences among the genotypes were indicated by different letters (p-value < 0.05).
