From: The Nicotiana tabacum L. major latex protein-like protein 423 (NtMLP423) positively regulates drought tolerance by ABA-dependent pathway

Overexpression of NtMLP423 enhances drought tolerance in tobacco. a Phenotypic observation of overexpressing NtMLP423 plants treated with 20% PEG for 7 days. b RWC of overexpressing NtMLP423 plants. c Water loss rates of overexpressing NtMLP423 detached leaves. Tobacco plants carrying antisense NtMLP423 gene showed increased sensitivity to drought stress. d Phenotypic observation of antisense transgenic plants treated with 20% PEG for 7 days. e RWC of antisense transgenic plants. f Water loss rates of antisense transgenic detached leaves. Data represent means ± SE (n = 3). * indicate significant difference relative to WT (*P < 0.05)
