Fig. 6: DROT1 genetically interacts with ERF3 and ERF71 to regulate drought resistance.

a, b Resistance of NT, OE-ERF3, OEI, and OE-ERF3/OEI plants to drought stress simulated by 20% PEG6000. Seedlings grown for 2 weeks under normal conditions (a, left) were treated by 20% PEG for 5 days, followed by re-watering for 7 days (a, right). Statistical analysis of seedling survival rates after re-watering (b). Data are means ± s.d. (n = 3 biological replicates). c Diagram of ERF71 and DROT1 knockout lines. d, e Resistance of NT, erf71, drot1-n, and erf71/drot1-n double mutant plants to drought stress simulated by 20% PEG6000. Data are means ± s.d. (n = 3 biological replicates). Different letters indicate statistically significant differences at P = 0.05 by one-way ANOVA with Duncan test. Source data are provided as a Source Data file.
