Morphological evaluation of the VIGS-plants and the wild types (WT) under drought and salt stress conditions. A Phenotype observation of TRV2: GhRPL14B, TRV2:00 and WT 24 h after (250 mmol·L^–1 NaCl) salt treatment. B Phenotype observation of TRV2: GhRPL14B, TRV2:00 24 h after 17% PEG treatment. Morphological parameters, C root fresh weight (RFW), D root length (RL), and E plant height (PH). Bar indicates the standard error (SE). Different letters indicate the significant differences between the wild type (WT) and VIGS-plants (ANOVA; P < 0.05)
