From: SiLEA14, a novel atypical LEA protein, confers abiotic stress resistance in foxtail millet
Drought tolerance of SiLEA14 overexpression foxtail millet in soil. (A) The phenotypes of WT and transgenic foxtail millet under normal condition, drought stress for 7 days and after rewatering for 3 days. Two-week-old seedlings were used. Six to ten plants grown in one plot were used in each experiment. This experiment had three replicates. Bar = 10 cm. (B) The survival rate of WT and transgenic foxtail millet plants in (A) under drought stress. (C) Free proline content in WT and transgenic plants after drought stress. (D) Soluble sugar content in WT and transgenic plants after drought stress. Data in B-D represent means and standard errors for three biological replicates. Statistical significance was determined by Student’s t-test. *P < 0.05; **P < 0.01.
