Analysis of malondialdehyde (MDA) content and reactive oxygen species (ROS) activity in SAPK9 OE and RNAi plants. a Estimation of MDA content in leaf tissues of transgenic and NT plants before (Normal) and after drought stress (Drought). Error bars represent the mean ± SD of triplicate measurements. Student’s t-test was performed to find out statistically significant differences (**P < 0.01). b Monitoring ROS activity, as revealed by evaluation of H2O2 content in leaf tissues of transgenic and NT plants through visualization upon staining with DAB under normal and drought conditions. c Accumulation of O2- ions in leaf tissues was visualized by staining with NBT in transgenic and NT plants under normal and drought stress conditions. Results were recorded from three independent experimental sets, and the result from one set is documented here
