transgenic plants even in the absence of stress conditions as
reported [9]. The authors of the study indicated that when no stress
was applied, transgenic plants were significantly taller than controls
[9]. This was explained by the growth of control plants might have
been hampered by flooding stress which induced the closure of leaf
stoma, depressing photosynthesis, and decreases carbohydrate
transportation [9]. These findings raised specific concerns as a
control plant that showed poorer growth compared to that of
transgenic plants in the absence of stress, which would not allow
reliable conclusions on the effects of stress to be surely deduced. As
