FIGURE 5.

Cotyledon greening rates of VqSTS21 transgenic Arabidopsis lines following the induction of osmotic stress. Homozygous seeds from VqSTS21 transgenic lines (L1, L2, and L3) and untransformed controls (Col-0) were plated on MS media supplemented with 130 mM NaCl (A) and 250 mM mannitol (B), respectively, and assessed for cotyledon greening rates. Representative images of plants were taken 12 days after seeds were plated on osmotic stress-inducing medium. Cotyledon greening rates were assessed daily following initiation of each treatment. Data represent mean values from three independent experiments. Scale bars = 10 mm.
