Fig. 5.
Cd tolerance of wild-type, AtPCSox-1, and AtPCSox-5 seedlings grown at difference sucrose percentages. Wild-type, AtPCSox-1, and AtPCSox-5 seedlings were incubated on medium containing 0 or 30 μM CdSO4 at 0, 0.5 or 2% sucrose (A, B) or 0 or 90 μM CdSO4 at 0, 0.5 or 2% sucrose (C). Fresh weight (A, B) and root length (C, D) were measured after 9 d. Fresh weight values correspond to means ±SE (n=6). Root length values correspond to means ±SE (n=30). Significant differences from the wild type are indicated (*P <0.05, **P <0.01, ***P <0.001).
