the absence of the
nhaA transgene in order to eliminate the possible effects of tissue
culture on plants. The expressions of nhaA gene for those high
expression events are about 120 folds above the low expression
event, 19308-3 (Fig. 5). The expression with either the wild type
control or null control is near zero (Fig. 5), indicating the qRT-PCR
probe for the assay is very specific for the foreign nhaA gene. A
difference in the death rate between T1 transgenic nhaA plants and
T1 null plants was observed after 7 days under stress. A similar
