Characterization of the Newly Developed Soybean Cultivar DT2008 in Relation to the Model Variety W82 Reveals a New Genetic Resource for Comparative and Functional Genomics for Improved Drought Tolerance
Figure 1
Relative water content (RWC) of DT2008 and W82 plants. (a) Ten-day-old plants were grown and exposed to dehydration stress as described in Section 2. (b) After 5 h of dehydration treatment, RWC was measured. Error bars represent standard errors ( plants/genotype). (c) Volumetric soil moisture contents were monitored during the drought stress treatment (). (d) Five-day-old plants were grown in pots and exposed to drought stress. After 15 or 20 days of water withholding, RWC was measured. Error bars represent standard errors ( plants/genotype). WW, well-watered control; WS, water stress. Asterisks indicate significant differences as determined by a Student’s -test (***).
