(A) Southern hybridization analysis of transgenic plants. M, molecular marker; WT, wild type; L10, L20, L30, three transgenic lines. (B) Expression level of OsLEA3-2 in transgenic rice, Zhonghua 11 was used as control; (C) photographs were taken after 5 d or 2 weeks of growth in water control. Photographs were taken after 5 d (D) or 2 w (E) of growth in water containing 10% or 20% PEG, 100 or 200 mM NaCl, or 10 µM ABA. Effect of 2 weeks abiotic-stress on root (F) and shoot (G) length of rice. For each treatment, 8 seedlings were measured. *P<0.05 and **P<0.01 shown above the bar reprent results significantly different from wild type control.
