Fig. 5From: The NAC-type transcription factor CaNAC46 regulates the salt and drought tolerance of transgenic Arabidopsis thalianaSuppression of CaNAC46 leads to salt and drought sensitivity in pepper. The role of CaNAC46 for salt and drought sensitivity was assessed by VIGS. A The TRV2-CaNAC46 and WT plants were subjected to drought stress by dehydration and salinity stress by watering with a 200 mM NaCl solution for 3 weeks. B DAB staining was in TRV2-CaNAC46 and WT leaves than in WT leaves after for 3 weeks of the salt and drought treatments. C The MDA content of TRV2-CaNAC46 and WT plants was measured under drought and salinity stresses. D The expression levels of stress-responsive genes were in examined by qRT-PCR analyses the WT and TRV2-CaNAC46 plants before and after the abiotic stress treatments. Three independent biological experiments were performed. Superscript letters indicate significant differences (P < 0.05)Back to article page
