Drought response phenotype of rice in the vegetative state. a The phenotypic effect of progressive drought on wild type rice (Oryza sativa cv. Ilmi) at the vegetative growth stage. Drought stress was initiated 40 days after germination, and the plants shown are a well-watered control and at day 1, 2 and 3 after drought initiation. b Decrease in soil water content during drought treatment. Soil moisture in the pots was monitored using a SM150 Soil Moisture Sensor (Delta-T Devices Ltd). Volts (mV) is the SM150 output value. Blue bar, control; Red bar, drought condition. The conversion from SM150 reading (volts) to soil moisture (%) can be calculated by −0.0714 + 1.7190 V-3.7213 V2 + 5.8402 V3-4.3521 V4 + 1.2752 V5 (Delta-T Devices Ltd). c The transcript levels of Dip1 and RbcS1 in the leaves of drought-treated and well-watered control plants over a time course of exposure to drought were measured by qRT-PCR analysis. Values shown are the means ± SD of three independent experiments and are presented relative to the results from the control. Dip1 (Dehydration Stress-Inducible Protein1, Os02g0669100) and RbcS1 (Small subunit of Rubisco, Os12g0274700) served as stress marker genes
