(a) Phenotype of the MdHSFA1d -overexpression Arabidopsis line for
high-temperature resistance. Bar = 2 cm. (b) Survival rates of WT andMdHSFA1d -overexpression Arabidopsis lines after the
high-temperature treatment. Asterisks denote significant differences as
determined by a t-test (**P < 0.01). (c) Relative expression
levels of high-temperature resistance-related genes (AtHSP101 ,AtHSP22.0-ER , AtHSP21 , and AtHSP70T-2 ) in WT andMdHSFA1d -overexpression lines at the normal temperature (22°C)
and 1 h after exposure to the high-temperature (37°C) treatment. Each
sample was analysed with three biological replicates, each comprising
three technical replicates. Asterisks denote significant differences as
determined by a t-test (**P < 0.01).
