Drought sensitivity and water loss analysis of wild type and APUM5 transgenic plants. (A) The photographs show increased drought sensitivity of 35S-APUM5 transgenic plants and decreased sensitivity of APUM5-RNAi plants. Irrigation was stopped in 4-week-old plants for 14 days and then they were re-watered for 3 days afterwards. (B) Percentage survival of wild type and APUM5 transgenic (35S-APUM5 and APUM5-RNAi) plants. Each group of 30–40 plants was averaged to measure survival rate (Student’s t-test; *P < 0.01, **P < 0.001). (C) Water loss measurements in detached rosette leaves of wild-type and APUM5 transgenic plants after the drought stress treatment. Detached rosette leaves were measured and monitored for loss of fresh weight at the indicated time points. Data are mean values of three independent experiments (n = 15).
