Expression of selected PgNACs under drought-stressed conditions. Pearl millet plants were exposed to drought stress for 0, 6, and 24 h, and their roots and leaves were sampled. The relative mRNA abundance of 21 selected PgNACs in these samples was determined by quantitative reverse transcription-PCR, with PgActin as an internal control. Data are presented as the means ± standard deviations (SD) of three biological replicates. Asterisk indicate significant differences. * P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001, students t-test
