A Key ABA Catabolic Gene, OsABA8ox3, Is Involved in Drought Stress Resistance in Rice
Figure 5
ABA sensitivity of the OsABA8ox3 transgenic seeds during germination and post-germination growth.
(A) Seed germination, (B) Post-germination root growth and (C) Root length of WT and OsABA8ox3-RNAi and -overexpression transgenic plants in response to exogenous ABA. Seeds treated with water and ABA (1μM and 5μM) were imbibed at 28°C to facilitate germination and post-germination growth. Error bars are standard deviations based on three replicates. ** Indicates significant difference from wild-type at P = 0.01.
