Responses of the AaPEPC1-overexpressing tobacco plants under drought stress. Phenotypes of transgenic plants expressing AaPEPC1 (OE1 and OE2) or as well as empty vector (EV), and wild-type plants (WT) grown in pots under drought stress (a) and after re-watering (b). Transgenic and WT were grown in soil for 15 days without watering. (c) Dry weight of transgenic and WT plants. Values represent means ± SD (n = 3). * and ** indicate significant difference from that of WT at p < 0.05 and p < 0.01, respectively, by one-way ANOVA analysis with post-hoc Tukey HSD.
