Transgene Pyramiding of the HVA1 and mtlD in T3 Maize (Zea mays L.) Plants Confers Drought and Salt Tolerance, along with an Increase in Crop Biomass

Table 1

Effect of drought tolerance on the percentage of survival of T3 lines versus wild-type control plants that were exposed to water deficit for 15 days followed by 7 days of recovery from water deficit.

Genotypes	Seeds not germinated	Total number of plants	Number of plants surviving	Percentage (%)
HVA1	9	21	11	52
mtlD	10	20	9	45
HVA1-mtlD	9	21	14	67
WT	10	20	7	35
