Fig 5. Overexpression of OsVTC1-1 enhances the tolerance of Arabidopsis to salt stress.

Fig 5

(A), phenotypes of OsVTC1-1 overexpressing Arabidopsis under salt stress. Control indicates that plants were grown under normal conditions, and NaCl indicates that Arabidopsis seedlings were treated with 150 mM NaCl for ten days. (B), the percentage survival rates of OsVTC1-1 overexpressing lines after salt treatment in (A). OE-v represents vtc1-1 plants transformed with the pCAMBIA1307 blank vector. OE1-1 and OE1-3 indicate different overexpression lines of OsVTC1-1 in vtc1-1 background. WT represents wild-type Col-0 Arabidopsis. About 70~80 seedlings were uses in each experiment. The bars represent SE (±) of three independent assays, and the asterisk indicates results significantly different from vtc1-1 (**P<0.01 and *P<0.05). Significance was evaluated using the t-test.
