a Drought tolerance phenotypes of Thompson Seedless (WT) and transgenic lines (#24, #25, and #27). Four-month-old plants (upper panel) were dehydrated for 20 days (lower panel). Scale bar, 2 cm. Leaf RWC (b) and electrolyte leakage (c) of WT and transgenic lines. Leaves were detached from WT and transgenic lines after both control and drought treatments. RWC relative water content. d Total lignin content of WT and transgenic line leaves in both the control and drought treatments. e Lignin composition of WT and transgenic line leaves after both control and drought treatments. H p-hydroxyphenyl unit, S syringyl unit, G guaiacyl unit, CWR cell wall residue. In all cases, the values are means ± SEs (n = 3). Asterisks indicate statistical significance (*0.01 < P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, Student’s t test) between the WT and transgenic lines
