Assessment of ABA sensitivity of SAPK9 OE and RNAi plants at seed germination and post-germination stages. a-i, ii Germination performance of seeds grown on MS agar media supplemented with 0, 1, 3 and 6 μM ABA from two OE lines (SAOE#1, SAOE#2), and two RNAi lines (RNAi#4, RNAi#5) compared to NT plants at 10th day. b Germination rate (%) of seeds grown on media supplemented with 0, 1, 3 and 6 μM ABA from OE, RNAi and NT plants at 10th day. c-i, ii The performance of transgenic and NT seedlings grown in ½ MS liquid media supplemented with 0, 1, 3 and 6 μM of ABA after 14 days. d Comparison of (i) shoot length and (ii) root length of transgenic and NT seedlings grown in media supplemented with 0, 1, 3 and 6 μM ABA after 14 days. For representation and better comparison amongst OE, RNAi and NT plants, the NT panel is duplicated in A (i and ii) and C (i and ii). Error bars represent the mean ± SD of triplicate measurements. Student’s t-test was performed to find out statistically significant differences (*P < 0.05, ** P < 0.01). Results were compiled from three independent experimental sets
