Transcript levels of drought- and salt-responsive genes in transgenic Arabidopsis and WT plants. The plants were grown under normal conditions for two weeks and then used for normal, NaCl, and drought stress treatments. After one week of treatment, the leaves of transgenic lines and WT were sampled for analysis. Data are presented as means ± SE (n = 3); * and ** indicate a significant difference at p < 0.05 and p < 0.01, respectively. The gene expression in WT under normal conditions was set to 1, and the expression in the other samples was adjusted accordingly.
