Figure 6: Comparative root growths of control and transgenic cotton plants expressing GhNAC2 under the CaMV35S promoter in well-watered and water-stressed conditions.

From: Expression of GhNAC2 from G. herbaceum, improves root growth and imparts tolerance to drought in transgenic cotton and Arabidopsis

Figure 6

Control (Coker) and transgenic GhNAC2 expressing cotton plants (lines L-24 and L-30) were grown in Neopit under well-watered conditions for two months and then subjected to 15 day water stress (water withheld for 15 days) followed by re-watering and root length measured after maturity (5 months 10 days). The control lot (Coker and transgenic lines) was watered continuously during this period (a) Root length in well watered control and transgenic GhNAC2 expressing lines. (b) Graphical representation of root length of plants in Fig. 6a (n = 6). (c) Root length in 15 day drought exposed and re-watered control and transgenic GhNAC2 expressing lines. (d) Graphical representation of root length of plants in Fig. 6c (n = 6). **P < 0.01; ***P < 0.001.
