Effect of ABA on desiccation tolerance in M. polymorpha. Gemmae of wild type (WT) and the B3-Raf genome-editing lines were cultured for 1 day with or without 1 or 10 μM ABA in liquid medium. The gemmae were transferred to a container containing silica gel and dried for 2 days. After rehydration, the gemmae were transferred onto a fresh agar medium and cultured for 10 days to determine survival. (A) Growth appearance of gemmalings after culture for 10 days. (B) Survival rate was plotted in histograms. Error bars indicate +/− SE. *p < 0.05 by t-test (n = 3).
