Heterologous expression of rty in transgenic strawberry plants resulted in reduced leaf water loss and electrolyte leakage, but increased water use efficiency. a Water loss rate of leaves were excised from the control and transgenic strawberry plants from 0 to 7 h (from am 8:00 to pm 3:00). b Water use efficiency of the control and transgenic plants from 8:00 to 16:00. Two-month-old plants were analyzed from pots in greenhouse. c Electrolyte leakage of the control and transgenic strawberry plants. Data were presented as the mean ± SD (n = 3) (*P < 0.05, Student’s t test)
