From: Overexpression of a carrot BCH gene, DcBCH1, improves tolerance to drought in Arabidopsis thaliana
Improved dehydration resistance of DcBCH1-overexpression transgenic A. thaliana plants. a The phenotype from four-week-old WT and transgenic A. thaliana plants (OE-3, OE-10, OE-13) before and after 60 min of dehydration. Scale bars = 3 cm. b Water loss assays for the whole plants of the WT and transgenic A. thaliana plants were performed within 60 min. c-d The activity of SOD (c) and POD (d) in the WT and transgenic A. thaliana plants measured after dehydration for 60 min. e NBT staining for detection the accumulation of O2− in WT and transgenic A. thaliana (OE-3, OE-10, OE-13) leaves after 60 min of dehydration. Scale bars = 0.5 cm. Bars represent mean standard deviation (SD). Asterisks (*) indicate significant differences between transgenic plants (OE-3, OE-10, OE-13) and the WT plants (* P < 0.05; ** P < 0.01; *** P < 0.001)
