FIGURE 2.

Effects of sysr1 overexpression on salt tolerance during the seedling stage. (A–C) Phenotypes of WT and transgenic plants grown on Murashige and Skoog medium supplemented with 300 mM NaCl. Two-week-old WT and transgenic plants (Lines 1, 4, and 7) grown on Murashige and Skoog agar were transferred to the same medium containing 300 mM NaCl, and plants were allowed to grow for an additional 4 weeks. Plants were photographed at the conclusion of the salt treatment. (B) Analysis of root length and (C) whole-seedling fresh weight. The data for three biological replicates were averaged. Different letters represent significant differences at P < 0.05 (t-test). Bars indicate the standard deviation of the mean.
