Germination of the CiNAC3 transgenic seeds under ABA treatment. (A) The transgenic lines showed a higher germination rate on 3 μM ABA medium compared with wild-type. The picture was taken 7 d (3 d for control) after imbibition. The germination rate of wild-type and two overexpression lines on medium with (B) or without (C) 6 μM ABA. (D) Germination of transgenic seeds without stratification. Error bars are standard errors of the means from three replications. Three independent biological replicates have been performed.
