a–d, Dehydration-induced CLE25 (a), NCED3 (b), LEA (c) and RD29B (d) expression in wild-type (Cont.) and CLE25 RNAi plants in response to dehydration stress (n = 6 biological replicates). **P < 0.01 as analysed by one-way ANOVA followed by a Tukey’s post hoc test (a–d). e, CLE25 RNAi plants and the nced3-2 mutant had a dehydration stress-sensitive phenotype (plants per group; n = 85, wild type (Cont.); n = 85, nced3-2; n = 85, CLE25 RNAi #10; n = 60, CLE25 RNAi #12; n = 60, CLE25 RNAi #13). Data are from three experiments. Scale bars, 2 cm.
