Overexpression of AhATL1 in Arabidopsis enhanced the plant tolerance during the drought stress memory process. (a) Drought tolerance phenotypes of four lines (Col, P35S::AhATL1-eGFP, atabcg22, and P35S::AhATL1-eGFP/atabcg22) that were dehydrated for 2 h and rehydrated for 24 h two times. (b) The aboveground water content of the four lines that were dehydrated for 2 h and rehydrated for 24 h two times. (c) The belowground water content of the four lines that were dehydrated for 2 h and rehydrated for 24 h two times. (d) The proline content of the four lines that were dehydrated for 2 h and rehydrated for 24 h two times. (e) The MDA content of the four lines that were dehydrated for 2 h and rehydrated for 24 h two times. All experiments, means, and SDs were obtained from more than three biological replicates. ‘*’ indicates a significant difference between AhATL1-OX, atabcg22, P35S::AhATL1-eGFP/atabcg22, and Col plants under the same dehydration and rehydration treatment conditions (p < 0.05). Asterisks in (b) to (e) indicate significant differences from Col in D1 0h (Student’s t test p values, * p < 0.05).
