Analysis 5′-UTR-deleted transgenic GUS reporter lines. A, RT-PCR analyses of GUS transcript levels of six independent lines. C, Control; S, salinity stress (4 h, 200 mm NaCl soil saturation). B, Four lines varying in GUS activity were subjected to 4 h of salt treatment by soil saturation with 200 mm NaCl. In a parallel experiment, wounding was applied to salt-stressed plants by cutting (three leaves of five plants per line). The leaf material at the vicinity of the wounding site was harvested and pooled per line. The error bars are based on two independent experiments.
