BOI is required for full GA-responsive growth and abiotic stress tolerance. A and B, Reduced hypocotyl and overall seedling growth (A) and mean hypocotyl length (B) in BOI RNAi and brg mutants in response to GA. C, Sensitivity of BOI RNAi and brg mutants to salt stress. Seedlings were germinated on plain MS medium and transferred to medium supplemented with GA or NaCl. In B, ANOVA and t test were performed to determine the statistical significance of the differences between the mean values using SAS software (SAS Institute, 1999). Mean values followed by different letters are significantly different from each other (P = 0.05). In C, the total number of seedlings tested and the percentage of seedlings showing salt-induced damage including necrotic or chlorotic symptoms are shown below the image. Wt, Wild type.
