Performance of various plants under salt stress. A, Comparison of the wild type (WT), mhz6 alleles, and MHZ6/OsEIL1-OX lines under salt stress. Eight- and 9-d-old seedlings were used as described in “Materials and Methods.” B, Comparison of the wild type, OsEIL2-RNAi, and OsEIL2-OX lines under salt stress. C, Comparison of the wild type, mhz7-1, and MHZ7/OsEIN2-OX-4 lines under salt stress. D, Comparison of the wild type in air, 10 µL L⁻¹ ethylene, or 5 µL L⁻¹ 1-MCP under salt stress. E, Survival rates after salt stress in A to D. Values are means ± sd (n = 3). Asterisks indicate significant differences from the corresponding controls at P < 0.01.
