Overexpression of AhUGT75A in Arabidopsis confers enhanced tolerance against abiotic stress. The growth phenotypes (A), electrolyte leakage (B), malondialdehyde (MDA) content (C) and nitrobluetetrazolium (NBT) staining (D) of wild type (WT) and three overexpressing lines under drought and salt stress conditions. Three-week-old seedlings were subjected for stress treatments. For drought stress, the plants were left without watering for 17 days, then re-irrigation for recovery for 3 days. For salt stress, the plants were irrigated with 200 mM NaCl solution instead of water for every 3 days, then the performances of the plants were photographed and the leaves were harvested at five and seven days after salt stress treatment. Plants grown under normal condition (CK) were used as control. Three biological replications for each experiment were taken, one-way ANOVA was used to determine the mean comparison with ± SEM (**P < 0.01, *P < 0.05). Error bars indicate the standard error of three biological replicates
