Phenotype adaptation and relative increase in growth parameters of the transgenics with and without salt. (A) : Leaf senescence assay under 0, 150, 250, 350 and 450 mM NaCl treatments for 30 days. (B): Phenotypic change of transgenic lines and control plants under 350 mM NaCl treatment for 30 days. Relative increase of plant height (C), stem diameter (D), leaf width (E) and leaf length (F) of the transgenic lines in salt (150, 250, 350 mM NaCl) relative to control conditions. The data shows the mean ± S.E. of triplicate experiments. ^* and ^** indicate a significant difference from that under normal conditions at P <0.05 and P <0.01, respectively.
