Effects of salt stress on the yield and the nature of the next generation seeds of O/E and WT plants. After the salt stress treatment with a gradual increase in the NaCl concentration of 25–100 mM for more than a month on soil-grown plants, they were watered with the tap water without the addition of NaCl. Resultant paddies were analyzed. (a) The rate of ripened paddies (n = 16 panicles for WT and n = 29 panicles for O/E, ±SD); (b) Na concentrations in ripened paddies (n = 9 experiments for WT and n = 18 experiments for O/E, ±SD); (c) K concentrations in ripened paddies (n = 9 experiments for WT and n = 18 experiments for O/E, ±SD); and, (d) Germination rate of the seeds from ripened paddies (n = 450 for each line, ±SD). Asterisks indicate significant differences between O/E and WT plants (Student’s t-test; * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01).
