Salt tolerance of ahs10, ATHB17 OX and ATHB17 KO lines. The seeds were germinated and grown in the salt-free MS medium or in MS media with salt. (A) Salt tolerance of ahs10. Wild type (Col-0) and ahs10 seedlings were grown in MS medium or MS medium containing 125 mM NaCl for 10 days. (B, C) Salt tolerance of ATHB17 OX lines. Seedlings were grown for 4 days in MS medium or MS medium containing 125 mM NaCl, and seedlings with green cotyledons were counted. (D, E) Salt tolerance of ATHB17 KO lines. Seedlings were grown for 4 days in MS medium or MS medium containing 150 mM NaCl, and seedlings with green cotyledons were counted. Experiments were carried out in triplicates (n = 50), and the small bars in (C) and (E) indicate standard errors.
