Fig. 11From: Systematic analysis and expression of Gossypium 2ODD superfamily highlight the roles of GhLDOXs responding to alkali and other abiotic stress in cottonSilencing GhLDOX3 via VIGS reduced sensitivity to Na2CO3 stress. A The phenotype of cotton after GhLDOX3 gene silencing under Na2CO3 stress. pYL156:PDS as a positive control, pYL156 was a negative control (containing empty vector), and pYL156:GhLDOX3 shows a VIGS plant silencing GhLDOX3. B The expression levels of GhLDOX3 by qRT-PCR under Na2CO3 stress. C Proline (Pro) contents. D Chlorophyll contents. VIGS plants containing vectors pYL156 and pYL156:GhLDOX3 were treated with 0 and 50 mM Na2CO3 for 24 h. Then, the parameters above were assayed in leaves. Statistical analyses were performed by Student’s t-test (*P < 0.05 and **P < 0.01)Back to article page
