Fig 5. AtERpro:AtΔKinase transgenic plants transpire less water under water deficit conditions compared to the wild type.

Fig 5

(A) Relative water content (leaves) in 58-day-old wild type and transgenic lines grown in regular greenhouse conditions. (B) Soil moisture expressed as volumetric water content (n = 7) in pots used for cultivation of wild-type and transgenic lines during 0, 5, 7 and 9 days of drought stress. Letter ‘a’ denote insignificant difference compared to that of wild type. Letters b and c denote significant differences compared to that of wild type. Letter b denotes p < 0.05, Letter c denotes p < 0.01 (C) Transpiration rate of wild-type and transgenic plants in day 7 of water deficit stress. (D) Stomatal conductance (n = 3) in leaves of wild type and transgenic AtERpro:AtΔKinase lines in day 7 of water deficit stress (n = 7). Results are shown as means ±SE.
