Fig. 4

The expression of ABA metabolic genes in both germinating WT and Osbhlh035 seeds. ABA over-accumulation in germinating Osbhlh035 seeds is due to the upregulation of the biosynthetic genes OsABA2 (a) and OsAAO3 (b) and abolition of salt-induced OsABAox1 (c) expression. The experimental materials and methods are the same as those described in Fig. 3. Samples for the q-PCR assay were harvested on day 5. Asterisks indicate significant differences in comparison with WT (*P < 0.05 and **P < 0.01) based on Student’s t-test
