Figure 7: Comparative plant phenotypes of control and transgenic GhNAC2 expressing cotton plants under water-stressed and well-watered conditions.

(a) Comparative plant growth phenotypes of control and transgenic GhNAC2 expressing cotton plants described in Fig. 6 under water-stressed (upper panel) and well-watered conditions (lower panel). (b) Graphical representation of percent abscission of leaves in control and progeny of various transgenic GhNAC2 expressing cotton plants (Lines L-24 and L-30) after water stress (n = 6). (c) Graphical representation of leaf angle of leaves remaining in control and progeny of various transgenic GhNAC2 expressing cotton plants (Lines L-24 and L-30) after water stress. Leaf angle (10 leaves/plant) was measured as the angle between the petiole and leaf lamina (n = 6).
