Functional validation of proline metabolizing gene’s expression in response to various abiotic stresses. Expression profiles of proline metabolizing genes were performed in response to salt, drought, cold, heat, dehydration, and oxidative stresses at a Bangladeshi rice variety. Quantitative RT-PCR was used to investigate the expression levels of each gene. The log₂ scale of fold change in each gene under each condition was presented. The results were represented by the mean value of fold change ± standard deviation using eEF gene as a reference gene
