Figure 4: Phenotypes of transgenic wheat lines and parental wheat plants (control) under drought stress.

Figure 4

(A) Phenotypes of transgenic wheat lines grown under normal conditions for three weeks. (B) Phenotypes of the transgenic wheat lines after rehydration for one week. (C) and (D) Survival rates of the transgenic wheat lines. (E) MDA content. (F) Free proline content. (G) Chlorophyll content. Measurements were made after 7-day-old plants were treated with drought conditions for one week. Vertical bars bearing different letters in (C,D,E,F), and (G) indicate significant differences between transgenic and control wheat plants at P < 0.05 and error bars represent standard errors.
