Figure 5. Water-deficit stress. The RWC (a) and the Electrolyte Leakage; (b) were measured from leaves of transgenic and wt pepper plant type “Florinis” at days 0 and 14 without water, using leaf disks from the fifth leaf of each plant. NC: negative control of non - transgenic pepper plant, T₁ and T₂: transgenic pepper plants. Values are means of 3 independent plants of the T₁, T₂ generation and untransformed plants similarly treated, p = 0,001.
