From: Overexpression of GhABF3 increases cotton(Gossypium hirsutum L.) tolerance to salt and drought
Overexpression of GhABF3 improves the drought and salt tolerance of cotton. a Identification of GhABF3 expression level in overexpressed plants. b Phenotype of cotton after salt treatment for 30 days. The upper part was the water treatment group; the lower part was the 300mM NaCl treatment group. c Survival rate after re-watering for 48h. d Changes of SOD, POD and MDA after treatment. The left was the water treatment group; the right was the salt treatment group. e Cotton phenotype under drought treatment, the left was after 2 weeks of natural drought, and the right was after 2 days of re-watering. f Dehydration rate of isolated leaves. Each data value was from three replicated experiments. Significant differences were denoted by * meaning P < 0.05; **meaning P < 0.01 (Student T-test)
