Evaluating grain yield of SAPK9 overexpressed (OE) and gene silenced (RNAi) transgenic rice plants. a Drought stress treatment of three sets of plants, i.e. OE, RNAi and NT plants at flowering stage in PVC pipes and subsequent irrigation till seed maturation stage. b Mature panicles and grains of three sets of plants. c Comparison of panicle weight in three sets of plants. d Comparison of spikelet fertility (%) in three sets of plants. e Proportion (%) of viable pollens (after staining with 1 % I2-KI solution) in three sets of plants. Error bars represent the mean ± SD of triplicate measurements. Student’s t-test was performed to find out statistically significant differences (** P < 0.01). Results were compiled from three independent experimental sets
