Figure 4. An increase in carboxylated polysaccharides is observed when rice is grown under salt stress.

Figure 4

O. sativa specimens were grown for two weeks in freshwater (control) or in the presence of 200 mM NaCl. After polysaccharide extraction, the concentration of sulfated polysaccharides was determined by metachromasy (negative result, data now shown), and the presence of carboxylated polysaccharides was determined using the carbazol reaction.
