Fig. 1From: A novel TF molecular switch-mechanism found in two contrasting ecotypes of a psammophyte, Agriophyllum squarrosum, in regulating transcriptional drought memory(a) Experiment design, physiological index in drought memory trial of (b) SMC, (c) leaf RWC, and (d) water loss of isolated leaves, respectively. R0, control; S1-3, the first, the second, and the third round of dehydration treatments, respectively; R1-3, the corresponding water recovery after S1-3, respectively. SMC, soil moisture content; RWC, relative water content. Indexes were shown in mean ± SD, n = 10. Within the same group (ecotype), the same superscripts denoted no significant difference (P > 0.05); different superscripts denoted significant difference (P < 0.05). Asterisks on shoulder lines denote statistically significant differences: *, p < 0.05; **, p < 0.01, between groups (ecotypes)Back to article page
