The insertion of the pROC3::ROC3 transgene rescues the roc3 mutants' phenotype. (A) Relative ROC3 transcript abundances assessed using qRT-PCR in WT and the complementation lines C-1 and C-2. Error bars represent the SE (n = 3). (B) The rate of water loss from rosette leaves detached from WT, C-1, and C-2 plants. Values shown in the form mean ± SE (n = 3). (C) ABA-induced stomatal closure in the WT, C-1, and C-2 leaf epidermis, stomatal aperture width/length ratios measured in at least 60 stomata per genotype per replicate. Data are shown as means ± SE (n = 60). (D) The survival rate of WT, C-1, and C-2 plants growing under drought stress conditions. Values shown in the form mean ± SE (n = 3). (E) The appearance of drought-stressed WT, C-1, and C-2 plants.
