TabZIP overexpressing Arabidopsis plants enhances thermotolerance. Arabidopsis transgenic harboring TabZIP under constitutive promoter showed better response to heat stress treatment (42 °C) for two hrs in comparison to the wild type. (a) Phenotype of plants post recovery at 20 days. (b) Silique size. (c) Seed morphology assay of WT and TabZIP overexpressing transgenics of Arabidopsis. (d) Yield per plant. (e) Relative transcript abundance estimation of heat stress marker gene (HSF) in wild type and TabZIP overexpression transgenic plants. The expression level of wild type was normalized to 1.0. Results obtained are mean value ± standard deviations of minimum three independent experiments. *Asterick indicates the significant difference i.e. Student’s t-test, P- value of ≤0.05.
