Phenotypic differences between transgenic lines overexpressing TaMYB80 and WT plants under drought treatment. a Photographs showing plants before and after dehydration stress. Four-week-old seedlings of WT and three transgenic lines were subjected to drought stress treatment by withholding irrigation for 14 days, followed by resumed watering and plant growth for another two days. Three independent experiments were conducted. b Survival rates of WT and three transgenic lines after drought treatment. Bars represent standard deviations (n = 60) of three biological replicates. c Water loss from detached leaves of 4-week-old plants measured at room temperature. Error bars represent the standard deviations of three replicates with 5 seedlings per replicate
