TabZIP overexpression plants showed enhanced tolerance to drought stress. Effect of drought stress on transgenic lines (one month old) subjected to drought stress for almost one month. (a) Phenotype of wild type and transgenic plants observed after stress, (b) size of siliques, (c) leaf morphology and (d) relative transcript abundance of drought stress marker gene in wild type and TabZIP overexpression transgenics. Expression level in wild type was normalized to 1.0. Results obtained are mean value ± standard deviations of minimum three independent experiments. *Asterick represents the significant difference i.e. Student’s t-test, P- value of ≤0.05.
