Comparison of stomatal opening status, and endogenous ABA level between wild-type and OsGRXS17 silenced rice plants. (a) Scanning electron microscope images of three different statuses of rice stomata. Scale bars = 5 µm. (b) Percentage of three different types of stomata in four-week-old wild-type and OsGRXS17 silenced rice plants under normal growth conditions or treated by 100 µM ABA (n = 62 stomata for wild-type, n = 58 stomata for OsGRXS17 silenced-6, n = 55 stomata for OsGRXS17 silenced-7, n = 65 stomata for OsGRXS17 silenced-8 and n = 60 stomata for OsGRXS17 silenced-13). (c) Endogenous ABA content of the wild-type and OsGRXS17 silenced rice plants (n = 4). Error bars represent the means ± SD (n = 4).
