Fig. 2: Morphology, shoot hydraulic conductivity, and photosynthesis capacity of MdDof54 RNAi plants under long-term drought stress.

Two-month-old GL-3 (transgenic apple background) and MdDof54 RNAi plants were transferred to a greenhouse for an additional month and were then exposed to a moderate drought treatment for two months. a–e Morphological characteristics of GL-3 and MdDof54 RNAi plants after drought stress: Images of GL-3 and MdDof54 RNAi plants (a), plant height (b), stem diameter (c), shoot dry weight (d), and shoot hydraulic conductivity (e). f–h Photosynthesis capacity of GL-3 and MdDof54 RNAi plants after drought stress: photosynthesis rate (f), transpiration (h), and stomatal conductance (g). The asterisks indicate significant differences between the GL-3 and transgenic lines based on one-way ANOVA and Tukey’s test (*p < 0.05; ***p < 0.001). The error bars indicate standard errors (n = 15)
