Figure 8.

The transgenic lines (#L1, #L2 and #L3) suffered less than wild-type plants (Col-0) from drought and salt. (a) Nitro blue tetrazolium staining of leaves detached from plants under control, drought and sodium chloride (NaCl) treatments. (b) Electrolyte leakage. (c) Measurement of chlorophyll content. For each experiment, four plants/lines were used. Data represent means ± SD from one experiment and the experiment was repeated once more and similar results were obtained. Different letters above bar mean significant difference between each transgenic line and Col-0 at P ≤ 0.05. (d) Heatmap displaying fold changes (FC) of abiotic stress marker genes and abscisic acid (ABA) signalling and biosynthesis genes in the transgenic lines compared to Col-0 plants (FC transgenic line/ FC wild-type plants) under drought and NaCl treatments based on quantitative reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction. The Actin 2 gene was used as internal control. Data shown are average of triplicate reactions. S and D represent salt and drought treatments, respectively.
