Figure 5. Increased salt tolerance in transgenic plants overexpressing PsCRN115.

Figure 5

(a) Seed germination in the presence of specific NaCl concentrations 12 days after sowing. (b) Germination rates of the plants under normal and NaCl treatments. Germination rate was scored at the indicated days. Data represent the means ± SE of three independent experiments (**, P < 0.01, Dunnett’s test). (c) The post-germination seedling growth of plants. Seeds were germinated on MS medium for 4 d and transferred to MS medium supplemented with 100 or 150 mM NaCl. The photographs were taken 12 d after germination. (d) Root length of the seedlings 12 d after germination. Data represent the means ± SE of three independent measurements (**, P < 0.01, Dunnett’s test). (e) Effect of salt stress on plant growth in soil. Plants were treated with 150 mM NaCl for 2 weeks and photographed at 15 weeks after germination. (f) Survival rates of plants. Data represent the means ± SE of three independent measurements (**, P < 0.01, Dunnett’s test).
