Thermotolerance assay of TaFER-5B transgenic wheat plants at the seedling stage. a Phenotype of 10-day-old JM5265 and three TaFER-5B transgenic wheat lines, W-L1, W-L2 and W-L3, before heat treatment. b 5-day-old JM5265 and three TaFER-5B transgenic wheat lines, W-L1, W-L2 and W-L3, were treated at 45 °C for 18 h, and photographs were taken after 5 d recovery at 22 °C. c Ion leakage assay of the seedlings in (a) after heat treatment. d Maximum efficiency of PSII photochemistry (Fv/Fm ratio) in the seedlings in (a) after heat treatment at 38 °C for 2 h. The data represent mean values ± SD of three independent experiments. (* indicates significance at P < 0.05)
