FIGURE 5.
Transcript abundance of GmORG3 under Cd exposure. Three-week-old seedlings were transferred to 100-ml glass tubes containing Hoagland solution. The tubes were divided into two groups for Cd treatments: one with 0 μM and the other with 100 μM CdCl2. After overnight treatment, the normalized relative transcript abundance of the GmORG3 gene was detected in the roots using real-time quantitative RT-PCR. The y-axis shows RNA levels normalized to those of GmActin. N = 3, and values are the mean ± SD. ∗Significant difference in values at the level of P < 0.05 by Student’s t-test in comparison with those of 0 μM.
